Gmat Paper Tests Scoring

I bought some of the official Gmat paper tests (link for these tests at bottom of post).

I am somewhat confused about how to figure my score. For example, I just finished Test 48.

For the Verbal, I got:
Correct: 44
Incorrect: 10
No answer: 2

For the Quant, I got:
Correct: 46
Incorrect: 5
No Answer: 1

Total:
Correct: 90
Incorrect: 15
No answer: 3

Maybe it's just me, but the 'Scoring Information' section on page 32 is confusing.

I believe my corrected Raw Score for V is (44-10/4)+.5=42, which I believe translates into a Scaled Score of 38 (according to page 30).

For Q, my #s are (46-5/4)+.5=45, which I believe translates to a Q Scaled score of 46.

Now do I add the scaled score of 38+46=84, which looks like a 670??
Or do I take my total #s (90-15/4)+.5=86, which looks like a 680??

I really am confused here - has anyone figured this out yet?

Thanks in advance...

800Bob is a TestMagic guru. Show your respect!
Use your Total Corrected Raw Score to find your Total Scaled Score. On the whole test, you had 90 correct and 15 wrong, giving your a Total Corrected Raw Score of 90 - 15/4 = 86.25, which rounds to 86. According to the conversion table, a Total Corrected Raw Score of 86 corresponds to a Total Scaled Score of 680.

Thanks for the responses Bob and scorpion.

I have taken:
GMATPrep1 : 700 (very surprised as I took this before studying...)
Paper Test 1: 640
Paper Test 2: 690
Paper Test 3: 680

...looks like I have a bit more studying to do. 3.5 weeks to go...
