This is pretty insane... this would only make sense if you left the last question unanswered. Can you check on your report if you left the last question unanswered?
I really can't see how it would be Q84 with 1 wrong
If you answered all questions, do you have any idea what that 6th question was and its difficulty? (just grasping for straws here).
bb - it definitely is insane. I absolutely agree. At the same time, I have seen a couple of other cases. We have two students - a 655 scorer who has 5 wrong on the Verbal section with a V85 - a 96th percentile. Another student - has a V75 (19th percentile) with 5 mistakes. When you look at the error map for both - they are very similar.
The student requested the GMAC to re-evaluate his score report. Their response - Please note, we did not find any discrepancy in your score. Your score depends on a variety of factors, including the difficulty level of questions.
While GFE scoring has, in general, been consistent, there are a few such cases where it seems like the algorithm does not adapt quickly enough.
BTW - on the other end of the spectrum, we have another student who scored 100 percentile in RC despite making one mistake in RC. Again - are such issues there - surely! Are they common - probably not. Were they there in the classical GMAT - they were. One the GCE, we had two students who got a V32 with just two mistakes. Both of them scored a V44 in their next attempt within 15 days.
While all of this is unfortunate, I think the OP should just take the exam again and score higher.
