Hi Rich,
Thanks a lot for trying to help me.
I believe that my performance in those three tests has been different, in fact it's improved. But the score remained same. Hence I felt that this score in not a good gauge. I wanted to know where I could have done better to drag my verbal score to above 30 (Q#: 1, 4, 9, 10, 17, 20,21, 23, 30, 35, 39) or what's stage of my session has brought me down to 26. Is it that I have answered 3 questions incorrectly in first 10 or that I have answered some consecutive questions incorrectly in the middle or whatever it is. This can help me to be more careful in that area. I know that a serious discussion is not needed on my query. But, I just wanted to check if peers or experts are feeling the same or not. In GMAT, there is no review options and one has to accept umpire's call. So, till I prove myself with a better score I believe this this is my current score.
1. I have been studying since a week. However, I have started GMAT overview a month back.
2.
OG 2016,
MGMAT Strategy Guides: RC, SC, CR. I feel I'm pretty strong in math, because while reviewing I rarely see any question which I could not solve while reviewing. Hence, I'm focusing on verbal.
3. No, I haven't taken FULL CAT yet. Because, I feel that it would be better to add first two sections once I'm on the track in Math & Verbal sections. May be from next week.
4. My goal score is 720. However, I would be fine with 700+.
5. I have scheduled my GMAT in mid of April.

Hi Nikhil,
Your 3 CAT scores are fairly consistent with one another, so it's not clear why you believe that this one score is incorrect.
The scoring Algorithm ...
A far more useful gauge ...
1) How long have you been studying?
2) What materials have you used?
3) Did you take the FULL CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
