Can you tell me how many mistakes in each section you made?

The last time GMAT prep was updated was in 2006 with version 14.0.0.162. There is also a 2005 version.e-GMAT wrote:Hi guys,
This is some of the most extensive work that I have seen. You guys seem to be on the right path to discovery. I would only like to add one more piece of information. To ensure that your results are consistent, please make sure that you do these simulations on this year's GMAT prep; i.e. GMAT prep that was released in April 2010. The GMAT prep released prior to was a lot more adaptive and more agnostic to mistakes early on. Also, ensure that someone is taking this data and summarizing the results for everyone's benefit.
Let me know if you need some help!!
Good luck!!

These are the verbal scores compiled from Hardik's score sheet.
Good analysis and initiative. I have one question based on Hardik's results. It seems, from this data, the overall performance matters more than the number of rights/wrongs in the initial few questions. Did you get a chance to analyse Hardik's data?
Cheers

I feel SC has a higher weighting than RC. I got total 12 wrong but got a score of 33 in verbal ,(SC-6, RC- 3. CR-3). compared to your 37. Did the higher number of SC questions wrong had at least a partial effect ?pkit wrote:690 Q47 V37, in verbal wrong, total -12 : RC 7, CR 3 SC 2.
3 out of 4 RC appeared up to 20th question, and before 20th question I had 1 or 2 SC.

Hi guys
Amazing study going on.
Now I don't remember exactly the data of 8 GMATPrep CATs that I taken,but I do remember that I never got more than 2-3 SC incorrect 1-2 CR incorrect.
For my split used to :
2 SC 1 CR 3 RC -44
1 SC 1 CR 2 RC -46
2 SC 1 CR 4 RC - 41
3 SC 3 CR 6 RC -39 [shocking isn't it].
3 SC 3 CR 7 RC -38 !
After reading some people's posts that they got bombed after crossing 10 incorrect question mark,I asked those guys how many were RC and invariably most answered that the no of incorrect questions were RC.
My logic goes this way:
Since SC is the most learn-able part in verbal ,it is highly likely that the SC question that you got wrong might have been answered correctly by others.
Next comes CR.You can build accuracy in CR after a lot of practice.So getting a CR question wrong penalizes less than a SC.
Next comes RC.I believe that this is the least learn-able part in the verbal.A persons' RC ability 90% of the times stays the same no matter how many questions he practices.That's why getting a RC incorrect penalizes you the least.Remember 50% of the test takers[not givers as most international students say.lol] are non-native people! Most of those people can improve their SC ability by using prep guides such as MGMAT SC strategy guide etc.,but most of the people find it difficult to improve their RC skills.You can't improve them overnight!
Btw did I mention that I got a 40 on verbal with even 9 questions incorrect!

interesting stuff...
this is GMAT prep 1; verbal 48 - I got 2 wrong... some of them were repeats so there is inflation going on...
I saw someone above had 3 wrong and the score was knocked down to 45... any progress on this analysis?
