Hi again,
To further my comments about your score being based the level of difficulty of the questions you answer correctly, I should tell you about an experiment I conducted.
When I was writing the article Taking the GMATPrep Practice Tests Multiple Times (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/03/ ... iple-times), I took GMATPrep Practice Test #1 four times, and each time I answered every second question correctly (I did this for the quant section only)
Given that I correctly answered exactly half of the questions each time, you'd expect my quant scores to be roughly the same for all 4 tests.
My 4 scaled scores were: 19, 23, 26 and 42
This represents a percentile range from approximately 8th percentile to the 63rd percentile.
I'm fairly confident that you'd get the same results on the verbal side. So, it's not about how many questions you answer incorrectly; it's about the level of difficulty of the questions you answer incorrectly.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Brent
