Is this a good GAT score?

Hi

Is the following a good GAT score?:

1. Written communication: 33/40
Standardized: 45 (top 2%)

2. Mathematics/science/technology: 28/35
Standardized: 36 (top 26%)

3. Humanities/arts/social sciences: 34/35
Standardized: 50 (top 2%)

I only got 83 for me ENTER, so I am a little perplexed by this.

It seems to me that 83 is significantly below what my GAT suggests I should have got. I thought that the point of the GAT was to provide a check on uncharacteristically poor performance?

Or is 83 not low enough to warrant consideration?

Any insight appreciated.

Cheers

I did pretty good in GAT, 50, 48, 50. But I think (from what I know) the GAT only really gets used when you miss out on an exam (illness etc.) I have friends who got <20 in all parts of the GAT and ended up with 95+ ENTERs.

Thanks RDX.

I mainly wanted to know whether it'd be a good idea to disclose my score for a degree transfer, and it seems as though I should.

Yeah definitely you got pretty solid GAT score which should aide you in your transfer.
