What should be my score If my raw score is 24/41 in verbal and 28/37 in Quants?
The Test I took shows that I have a 360. I think there might be something wrong.

You're absolutely correct: a 28 in quant and 24 in verbal should be much higher than a 360. To get a general idea of how the two raw scores combine to create a composite score, check out the scoring charts available at https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-scores-83890.html or the score calculator tool at https://www.800score.com/score2.html. The tools aren't perfect, but they're not too far off in most cases.
Based on these, it looks like your score should be somewhere around a 450, maybe just a little bit lower.
I hope this helps!

I'm assuming that "raw score" means the number of questions you answered correctly on each section. This is different from the quant and verbal scores (each out of 60) that gmatninja is referring to.AkiB wrote:What should be my score If my raw score is 24/41 in verbal and 28/37 in Quants?

A lot of students focus on the number of questions they answer correctly/incorrectly since their entire school life was based on this model. However, the computer adaptive nature of the GMAT requires us to abandon this model.
On the GMAT, your scores are not based on how many questions you answer correctly; they're based on the level of difficulty of the questions you answer correctly.

Sorry AkiB, I completely misunderstood your original post--I thought you were talking about the scaled verbal and quant scores, not the number of questions you got correct. Oops. File under: internet before coffee.
Please disregard my last post, unless you really want to look at GMAT scoring charts just for the fun of it. Brent is absolutely correct: GMAT scores are based on which questions you miss, not necessarily how many. You can miss a crapload of questions and do incredibly well, and you can miss relatively few questions and get a disappointing score. But it's impossible to translate your raw results into a composite GMAT score, unfortunately.
Sorry for the confusion!
