I just took the Kaplan Free GMAT, and on the Quantitative section, received a score of 45 and a percentile of 94%. On Verbal I received a 41 with a percentile of 93% for a total of 680 at 89% total.

Question 1.
How does a 94% and a 93% get me to a total of 89%?

More importantly, Question 2.
I only got 4 wrong on Quant.
Questions 8, 13, 19, 26.

I get that the test is adaptive, but I can't fathom how only 4 wrong (pretty evenly spread out among the 37 questions) can lead to only a 45.

Can someone help me understand this?
