Actually, this isn't an obvious question at all. The GMAT scoring algorithm is pretty much a black box. The GMAT is computer adaptive, and each question you get correct serves you a more difficult next question. The number of difficult questions you get correct weighs into your final score.

Many posts have been written about this topic, so I recommend searching the archives. Otherwise, you're not going to get a definitive answer on how the scores are set.
