in case of 5:
p = 9.50 + 0.25(s - 1)
Putting values
p = 9.50 + 0.25(5 - 1)
p = 9.50 + 0.25(4)
p = 9.50 + 1
p = 10.5
in case of 1:
p = 9.50 + 0.25(s - 1)
Putting values
p = 9.50 + 0.25(1 - 1)
p = 9.50 + 0.25(0)
p = 9.50 + 0
p = 9.5

Book Q.s how well proxy of "actual" performance?
Hi
From GMAT officially released questions in book, lets say I do 34 out of 37 consecutively published questions correctly IN time. Does that mean I will perform similarly well on actual exam/CAT too? If yes, to what extent? If no...not at all?
Thanks.
