What kind of garbage is that? Even if you get the first 11 wrong, it shouldn't lead to a 30. How is that possibel?

It's very much possible. If you got the first 11 wrong, in a row, then its very much possible. It just means that with each question you got wrong in the first 11, the difficulty of your questions kept going down and down and it took a really long time, i.e. the rest of your questions to get to the level of 30.

But on the GMATPrep, there are no Experimental questions. I got 3 wrong of the first 10. (number 1,3,8)

GMAT Prep uses the same scoring algorithm as the actual GMAT. If you got ONLY 3 wrong and it gave you a 30, that doesn't make much sense. But when I got 3 wrong, I had 47. With 5 wrong, it was around 44-45. With 8 wrong it was 40-42, assuming that all the answers are decently spread out, and there's no more than 2 wrong in a row. Once again, this is a really vague sampling and it could have just been me, because #correct doesn't correlate with the score directly. The position of these incorrect answers in the overall framework of things, along with the difficulty of the questions matter a lot more.
