Hi hopeforharvard,

The GMAT Scoring Algorithm is far more complex than most people realize, so you shouldn't be spending your time trying to figure it out. As you've come to realize, the number of correct answers is NOT the primary factor in generating your score. In terms of review (and what you can do to raise your score), you should really review every question that you got wrong to determine WHY you got them wrong. How many of those incorrect answers were because of a silly/little mistake? How many of them could you have gotten correct if you had just done a little more work? THOSE should be the easiest points to get back, so you have to work to keep the little mistakes from happening. From a big-picture standpoint, that is what you need to do to raise your scores.

1) How have you been scoring on your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
2) What is your goal score?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
