Hi,
I recently gave my third practice test on Veritas. I got a score of 710 Q47/V40. I had a query regarding the quant score.
In the quant section my accuracy was very low, just 54% and I still got a scaled score of 47. This is literally the lowest accuracy I have achieved in any test so far but the highest scaled score and I wanted to check if there was anything off in the calculation for this test. I know tougher questions have more value but a 54% accuracy is just too low to justify that.
Regards,
Sangram

Hey Sangram,
There is nothing wrong with the data. With a 54% accuracy, you have a percentile score of 73 which means you performed better than 73% of the test takers. Hence the score of 47. Accuracy is just one of the factors that determines your percentile score so don't sweat about it. It is possible that you have 50% accuracy in a test with a 70 percentile score while only a 60 percentile with 60% accuracy. Just to give you an example, if the level of an average question of a test is higher than the level of an average question of another test, your accuracy might be lower in first test though your percentile score might be same or higher. Or say if you make some silly mistakes in one test but recover from them later, you might have lower accuracy but higher percentile score. So there is no point comparing your accuracy if one practice test with your accuracy of another. All you need to worry about is your percentile score.
