There are quite a few experimental questions which are not scored. Unfortunately no one knows (except the ETS :D ) which are those questions. So it is better to assume that there are "no" questions which aren't scored. Hope this helps.

There is no possibility of that. For the GMAT, the "experimental" questions are mixed in with the regular questions in each section. So you'll only have one verbal and one quant section...but not all the questions will be scored. Obviously, as stated above, you don't know which ones are/aren't, so it's best to treat every question like it will be scored!
