Hi,
This is really fishy and weird. I do not understand how is the test scored. After a whole lot re-studying everything and trying to fare well in a practice exam that I bought from GMAC - the first of the two exam pack tests I have scored 680 and I am definitely not satisfied with how have I fared, in comparison to other 670 I scored in the last one.
Please refer to the following test statistics to understand the two exams I gave.. I really need your inputs to understand where there is no improvement in my verbal score at all???
Test 1 (670, Q49, V32, IR 4) (below as total questions, correctly answered, wrongly answered)
QUANT 37 29 8
PS 19 16 3
DS 18 13 5
VERBAL 41 23 18
RC 13 7 6
CR 11 7 4
SC 17 9 8
Test 2 (680, Q49, V34, IR8) (below as total questions, correctly answered, wrongly answered)
QUANT 37 27 10
PS 20 15 5
DS 17 12 5
VERBAL 41 30 11
RC 13 10 3
CR 11 7 4
SC 17 13 4
Are the two tests in line with the right scoring.... I actually expected the verbal raw score to go up to atleast 38 39 with 11 wrong questions assuming atleast some of them would have been experimental too.
I have also noticed the placement of the right and wrong answers which seems to have improved in test 2 consierably from Test 1.
Test 1:
Quant: 1,2,14,16,24,32,34,37 wrong (1, 2 being wrong is definitely a problem)
Verbal: 3,7,10,11,19,22,25,26,29,30,32,33,34,35,37,38,39,41 wrong (i know my verbal sequence looks terrible here!)
Test 2:
Quant: 3,9,15,16,19,25,26,27,31,33 wrong
Verbal: 3, 9,10,11,13,14,19,21,22,24,31 wrong (this sequence is still much better, however I realize 9,10,11 shouldn't have been wrong in a series)
Nevertheless, Not really sure if this is fine.... what are your comments???
I have my exam in 8 days and i am really worried as otherwise my application looks very strong with all the credentials and everything but I don't want to get bogged down only because of GMAT as I am targetting some very high schools.... Looking at this, can you guys please help suggest things... Manhattan SC seems to have helped me somewhat, I am thinking of reading powerscore bible for CR one more time as I think CR is still a weaker section... and need to be more careful on Quant because as mnay as 4 5 questions when I saw again after exam, even before checking the right answer I could spot the right answer and then hit my head in the wall for a wrong option marked... and my careless mistakes... but please help out with the verbal section as I have limited time

If I recall correctly, I read in a comment from an official that experimental questions are part of actual exam but not of practice exams. Moreover, your assumption that out of 11 wrong answers some might be experimental may not be valid- on the other hand it is equally likely that many of your correct answers might have been experimental questions.
In any case, I'd recommend to go through wrong questions to identify weaker areas instead of worrying about scoring pattern. Too frequent wrong answers could be pulling your scores down.
