I have completed a few Princeton Review (Crack the GMAT CD)practice tests and find that score is much more dependant on the first ten questions than the overall % of questions that I get correct. For example on my third test (V:41 M:40 T:650) I answered approximately 73% of the questions correct. On my fourth test, I asnwered an average of 84% correct but my score was down to 610.
So the question is, on the actual GMAT, are the first 10 questions as crucial?

Please check out the "How the GMAT finds your score" series in the Ask Manhattan GMAT forum area. I think you'll find this series useful...
Best of luck!
