Very LOW GMAT practice test score

Simply bacause I do not think a verbal score of 26 is possible with just 11 incorrect, which are spread throughout the section (1,4,9,10,17,20,21,23,30,35,39). If you comment that the questions I have got are easy, why I haven't got difficult questions even I was answering good?

While it is difficult to believe that 30 right answers would generate a score of 26, looking at the pattern of your answers, I can see how possibly that score could make sense.

Question 1 was a medium level question and you got it wrong. So that drove your score down. You got the next two right, but then drove it back down by getting question`4 wrong. Once again you started going back up, then went back down by getting 9 and 10 wrong. A nice stretch from 11 - 16 was countered by a missed 17, and then by 20 and 21. So far a level of 26 makes sense, or maybe even a lower level makes sense. After 23 you got 15/18 right. I am not sure whether it makes sense that those answers kept you at 26. Maybe that result does seem a little funny, but then again it might make sense.
