Hi,
I am looking for a clarification on how my verbal scores were calculated in GMATPrep practice test. I got 34 (out of 41) questions correct with 4 incorrect in 1st 10 questions, leading to a Verbal score of 35. My confusion here is, even after maintaining 83% accuracy, why my Verbal Score was not in 40+.
I also recently took a Manhatten GMAT CAT as well and scored 34 in Verbal despite getting only 20 (out of 36) questions correct, with 4 incorrect in 1st 10 questions here as well. I am aiming for a 45+ in Verbal and plan to give GMAT in next 2 weeks. Please help me in understanding what actually went wrong in my GMATPrep test, and how can I improve further to get a V45.
Thanks!!

On the GMAT, the number of questions answered correctly is only indirectly related to the score.
For the majority of test takers, the impact of marking a question right (or wrong) depends to a very large extent on the difficulty level of that question and how good that question is at differentiating between test takers of different abilities.
1. Try not to go by accuracy rate.
2. Comparing scores across test providers is not recommended.
3. You might want to shift over to the new online GMATPrep (only the old one has 41 questions in verbal).
It's good to see that you're aiming for a high score (V45 is 99%), but it won't be easy to get there from a V35 (76%) in 2 weeks, unless that V35 was a case of underperformance.
