Confused about Gmatprep Scores, Plz. help

by gmattester » Mon Jul 21, 2008 11:46 am
I am totally confused about my GMATPrep scores. I took GMATprep1 test on saturday and scored 610 , Quant : 16 wrong and Verbal: 12 wrong.
Today again I took GMATprep installed on different machine, although some questions were similar , I scored 710 . Surprisingly, again I got same number of questions wrong. Quant:16 wrong and verbal: 12 wrong.
Can someone explain me why this huge difference in scores.

you won't get the same score even though you got the same number of questions correct on the two tests. this is due to the fact that the difficulty level of the questions are not the same between the two said tests.

I agree with daniyatom, and to elaborate a little further, a harder question wrong towards the end of the test will not impact your score nearly as much as an easier question wrong at the beginning of the exam will.
