Hello,
I have taken both GMAT Prep tests and scored a 610 and a 680. I scored a 610 on the first one, but was distracted somewhat by my family. I had to rush to complete the last few questions and did not answer the last one. On the 680 I had complete silence and finished, but when I looked at the right/wrong it wasn't any different on quant on only slightly different on verbal. On the 680 it said I missed 15 Q and 10 verbal and on the 610 the verbal was 8 wrong out of 40. I missed several questions on the 680 that seemed rather easy, but didn't have any right that seemed especially hard. Is it possible that the scoring system made an error? The last several Q questions were somewhat easy. My score was better on Q, but I don't remember the breakdown. Also, the only other test I have taken was a Kaplan one and I scored a 630. That was my first practice test before I had done any prep.

There is no correlation between right/wrong and the final score.
The way GMAT works with progressing difficulty and with experimental questions (that do not count), you can make 15 mistakes in each section and get 720 or you can make 10 and get 650 (conceptually speaking).
Also, if you leave any questions unanswered, it is significant penalty (much more so than answering the question wrong)

Thanks for the fast response! I knew the level of difficulty played a major role, but I guess I was shocked at scoring so high (by my standards) without really getting questions that I considered to be 700 level, and ending up with questions that seemed more like 550-600 level questions. I'm pretty pumped now knowing 700 is completely with reach. Thanks again!
