My understanding of CATS are that the earlier questions are worth more than the latter questions.

I missed question 4, 7, 9 , 15 , 17, 18, 20, 22, 26 and 32 (31/41 ~ 75%)

This gave me a V of 34.

vs.

I missed questions 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15 22, 24, 28, 34, 35 (24/37 ~65%)

This gave me a Q score of 42.

Can anyone clarify this? This exam was GMAT Prep #1.

Does Quant have experimental in there programmed in?

The issue of whether the first questions count more than other questions has been discussed several times. The result of the debates were that they do count more, but only marginally!

There are corresponding percentile rankings for the scores you provided (34 and 42). You might want to check those before anything else, since they're pretty important. A quant score is never the same as a verbal score: 49 in quant is 84% (I think), but it's 99% in verbal.
