I want to get 80+ percentile in verbal...So i would like to know how many questions can i answer incorrectly and still be ok. I know there is no single way to answer that because the score depends on a lot of factors. But can anyone still give me a number ? 10 ? 15 ?

Moved this discussion to the Verbal forum area...

You are correct--there is no way to answer your question, since it really depends on a number of factors.

Try not to get too hung up over hit rates to achieve a certain score. Take the test one question at a time and try to get every question you see correct.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
