I am slightly confused after having taken my last GMATPrep CAT.
Following situation:
I had a very good feeling during the quantative section of my last CAT but only scored a 43 (61st percentile).
So I looked into my responses and noticed that I answered 4 out of the first 10 questions incorrectly. But after that (I had a total of 8 wrong answers) the only questions I got wrong were #12,24,27 and 32.
What confuses me is that on my other GMATPrep CAT's in which I socred a Q46 and Q48, respectively, I also had about 3 to 4 of the first questions wrong but managed to get a higher score even though I had made more mistakes later on.
As I do know that the percentile is not measured solely on the number of questions one gets right or wrong but also on the level of difficulty of the individual question, it wonders me that I did not get any more difficult questions OR that my score would not be higher if I got harder questions.
I would highly appreciate any answer that resolves my confusion as I am in my final days of preparation.
Cheers, Styves
