if anyone of u guys could provide ur comments on how percentile gets affected when questions get incorrect initially it would be helpful to evaluate..

If you're interested in the algorithm, the Understanding Your Score page mentions some info you may find interesting (e.g. three factors Verbal scores are based on). You can also check out the myth vs. fact info (e.g. in the beginning of the Official-Guide 2024).

thanks for ur replay what's AD/BCE method? could u elaborate
basicallybhavesh
Based on my limited understanding, you need to study for this. You need to be familiar with the type of questions that come in GMAT.

Since it is an adaptive test (+ you can't switch between questions unlike other Indian exams), It is important to get initial questions correct.

Your DI %ile was lower than QA, am I correct in assuming that the Data Sufficiency questions were a menace? You can adopt the AD/BCE method to make things easier.

I watched all the free GMAT Ninja videos on YouTube. That helped me develop familiarity with the exam.

I choose verbal, DI and quant as the order.

I got feared initially while taking up verbal because of which it didn't go well, same thing for Data Insights
Hi VIJAYCS,

If you're looking to take the exam again, do you think it makes sense to maybe consider a different section order? That'll help you warm up a bit before you get to verbal.

Hi VIJAYCS,

I'm sorry to hear about your GMAT experience. While I think switching up the section order could be beneficial, I'm also curious about your scores on the MBA.com practice exams. Could you please provide the score breakdowns from those? Once I have that information, we can move forward from there.
