Sorry to mention but
GMAT is linear in terms of percentile scoring and not in terms of absolute scoring

So for example if it’s DI there are 20 Ques in total,each question contributes 5 percentile

Making 1 mistake reduces 5 percentile more or less and similarly in other sections

The only unpredictable nature that actual GMAT has is the number of experimental questions making mistakes to which doesn’t contribute.

But they aren’t there in mocks So mock percentiles and scores are very predictable in terms of mistakes
I don’t think the gmat is percentile linear as well. It depends on which difficulty of questions you get wrong as well. A person who gets the 10th question wrong is not going to get the same percentile as the person who gets the very last question wrong. This has happened to me in the actual gmat with significant percentile difference for getting 1 question wrong in both tests

No, I got 97 percentile in DI with 6 wrong

99 percentile in V with 2 wrong
As already mentioned
GMAT actual is unpredictable because u don't know how many were experimental questions

I know a someone who had done 3 mistakes in V and still got 100 percentile... those three were experimental questions. Making mistakes in them contribute none to the score

What is predictable is the mock score only where you don't have such questions.
You can predict where you will stand if you would have made 2 more questions right in mocks

This linearity of percentile prediction matters only in mocks
Not in actual test is what I mentioned

It's just to gauge oneself while preparation during mocks

Not in actual test

If u want, you can verify this with your mocks taken previously...

In 2 of my actual tests i had got only 1 question wrong. But none of them resulted in a 100 percentile, meaning they both were not experimental questions and the there was a significant percentile difference between both. The experimental questions do in general play a role, but even if you exclude the experimental questions, what matters is the degree of difficulty of questions that you get wrong
