hi...i am sorry if i sound a lil ignorant or uninformed when i ask this...but i was just going over the posts on the "share gmat exp.." and looking at the scores...was wondering does scoring higher points in verbal section compared to quant will lend u a higher score relative to a higher quant than verbal...?
also looking at the break up...i would like to understand how many qs can you get actually get wrong on each section (roughly) to stay in the 700 range? how can i make my raw scores equivalent to the given range by gmac?
sorry to bug but its just bothering me....
thanks

Hi,
I do think that scoring higher on verbal will improve your total score more so than scoring higher on quant. This also makes sense if you look at the statistical breakdown.. i think a 50 in Q represents a 99% score... whereas to get a 99% in V, you only need a 45 or so. So obviously lets say you get a 48 in Q.. that's like an 83% in Q... but if you get a 48 in V, that represents a 99%, so your total score will be higher. I hope that made sense.
I don't know if there's any clear way to use a total # of wrong questions to predict a score. The reason is that there are various experimental questions on the actual GMAT, so if you get those wrong it won't affect your score. Maybe someone has a better way to estimate it though.
Also check this link out, it might help you understand some more:
