Verbalfight, In addition to the spacing of the questions, the scaled score depends on the difficulty level of the question you got wrong. This you have no control over, I'm afraid... Even if you have been performing in the 750+ range and have gotten only 2 questions wrong until question number 36, t...

There is no order, I'm afraid...I haven't seen a GMAT begin with an RC, so in all probability, it will begin with a CR or an SC.
Btw, gmatblood..You can expect 3-4 RCs (3-4 questions in each).

Cheers!

Well harshad... As you know, these things aren't linear. Your scaled score is dependent on the difficulty level of the questions you got wrong, and on whether you got any experimental question wrong. I would peg your score as a 43Q , 32V. However, this is only a guestimate. Please take it with a pin...

Private tutoring (even the online ones) will help you zoom in and improve upon your weaknesses.
