bb I have given a few quant mock tests(from the gmat club tests) today of both classic and focus editions as I was slightly confused with which version to opt for. I have scored 49(74 percentile) in classic version whereas 82(76 percentile) in focus version. But the error percentage in the classic versions is comparatively much higher. And also I have got only 1 hard question incorrect in the focus version, but unable to understand why the percentile is still too low. Why did the algorithm provide me with lot of medium or easy questions although I was getting hard questions correct? This is making me feel like scoring 87/88(95 percentile) is too tough on Gmat focus. Can you please share your views?

Details of scores-
Classic- 49, Hard-14/19, Medium-3/5, Easy- 7/7
Focus- 82, Hard-10/11, Medium-3/3, Easy-7/7

Hi. Sorry I have missed your post during the holidays.
That is a score calculation mistake. We realized there was a problem in cases when people have taken some hard questions in other tests and not enough hard questions were available for the test. That has been fixed, and your score would be much higher - closer to 85.

P.S. However, there have been some really weird situations with people missing 1-2 questions and getting low 80's on the gmat. I really don't know how to wrap my mind around that...

Hi bb,

This is my recent report of Verbal section:
10 RC: 3 wrongs
13 CR: 4 wrongs
I got 79, I think I was punished by 4 wrong questions in a row, and wrong in some easy questions due to guessing
