Right. I stand corrected. The scores are not inconsequential, but I have heard claims that it doesn't matter if you're an overseas candidate or a CAT student at the interview stage. But then again I'm not sure exactly how true that is for the same reason as you mentioned.

It would be touch to decide who gets how many points out of the maximum possible 40. Not sure exactly how they normalize the GMAT scores and the CAT scores. Especially when all the GMAT students probably have one of 10 or 15 possible scores (ie. 650 - 800) and the CAT students have one of 80 or 90 possible scores (99.20 - 99.99).

Do the math and let me know.
