Approx score if you get 1/2 of the hardest questions right?

Hi. I've read that the GMAT tries to find the difficulty level where one answers roughly half the questions correctly, so that it can feed that test taker a steady diet of questions from that difficulty bin.

If one answers roughly half of the difficult quant questions (comparable to those the OG has labeled as difficult) correctly, what sort of score does that approximately translate to?

How about if one aces the medium questions but gets just 25% of the difficult ones correct, or at the other end, if one gets 75%+ of the hard questions correct?

(I know nobody has the algorithm. Just looking for rough rules of thumb, if they're out there, and/or answers based on experience.)

You said it yourself, there's no way of interpreting the algorithm to create a rule of thumb. Do some searching on some of the old posts on this topic. To get you started, here's a thread that somewhat related to your question: https://www.beatthegmat.com/my-blog-erro ... html#23962

Even the people who make the test couldn't answer that question - the difficulty levels are much more precise than "easy, medium, and difficult." It's also the case that you can't compare how you do on a static book to how you might do under timed, adaptive testing conditions - effective (or ineffective) time management can make a huge difference. Take a practice test. Good luck!
