Hello everyone, yesterday I did my first practice exam (free) on gmat official website. The test didnt score the analytical writing assessment part and the result I got was 710 (90% percentile overall) with:
1. 50 Quant (87% percentile)
2. 37 Verbal (81% percentile)
3. 7 IR (79% percentile)
Is this result reliable? I find it strange to score 90% overall without having any of Q/V/IR above mentioned percentile.
I am planning to keep taking practice exam every Sunday from now on if it reflects real test difficulty.
Thankyou!
edit: additional info if this helps: 24/31 on quant, 26/36 on verbal, 7/12 on IR. overall 58/80 (pretty bad score if this was a normal uni test I think). correct answer / total question.

The Official Mocks are the best representation of the actual exam. Nothing appears to be wrong with the 710 score based on your post. Gratz on the Q50.

GMAT official tests are the most reliable test because the algorithm used is the same you will be getting on real GMAT exam. It reflects the real difficulty levels.
. Yes it is perfectly normal to get 90%ile even if you dont score 90%ile on any one of section individually. Understand it this way. Suppose to get 90%ile in math and verbal, you need 40 and 30 marks respectively, but to get 90%ile overall, you need 60 marks in total. Some people are good in maths, some in verbal. Most people are not equally good at both. Thats why overall marks required to get 90th percentile is less than that needed to get 90%ile in each.
This exam is a test of what difficulty level questions are you capable of solving. If the test starts at 600 level and you are capable of solving only 600 level questions, you will get 50% of questions correct.
So, dont worry about how many questions you got correct out of how much. This is an adaptive test and you are bound to get questions wrong after you reach your level.
Best of luck
