11 Mistakes in Verbal but still 31V!

by Giorgio » Sat Nov 14, 2009 7:09 am
Hello guys,

i just gave a GMATPrep 1st test , my score was 660 Q49 V31 .

I am quite impressed becoz of such a low score in verbal , i had only 11 incorrect answers out of 41 , but i think that the score is still very low.

I had 13 Incorrect answers in Quant but the score was 49!

Can anyone comments this?

The scoring doesn't go by the number of questions that you got incorrect. It takes in to account the difficulty of the questions that you got correct and incorrect. So the 13 questions you missed in the Quant section were probably significantly more difficult than the 11 questions you missed in the verbal section.
