GMAT prep Test 1 (Re-take) funny score

[nimitashirsekar]

Hi,
I just took the GMAT prep test 1 again. I took it the first time around in October, when i scored 550. I took it again today (December) and scored a 700 (Q49, V36).
What i found unusual while reviewing the responses, was that i got 16 wrong in each of the two sections(Verbal and Quantitative) and in spite of that got a decent score of 700. Is this possible? And i can assure you that i did not remember any question from the first time i took the test. So it was like taking a new test altogether.
I know that the scoring is not linear since the test is adaptive, but getting such a high score in spite of these many incorrect answers is suspicious.

Hi nimitashirsekar,

Thanks for your email.I can see why you would be concerned, but we can confirm that the GMATPrep scoring algorithm is accurate. We have had this question before and confirmed that like the GMAT® exam, an individual's GMATPrep exam score is determined by the number of questions answered accurately, and more importantly, by the difficulty level of the questions answered as well.

Although you do not remember the questions, your familiarity with the question types and format may have impacted your scoring outcome.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks,
Tina
