I repeat. Don't compare number of questions with hardness. I was merely illustrating a point. 12 wrong could mean a 35 or a 40 depending on what the level was. Getting stuff wrong in a row def. hurts more.

Definitely answering a series of questions wrong hurts more because after a couple of hard ones which u got wrong the algorithm gives you a moderate or easy question which when you answer wrong hurts your score...regardless of the number of questions the score may vary as it only depends of the level of question you made wrong rather than the number..for instance if you get three hard questions wrong you are penalized less compared to getting three easy questions wrong..this is how it works..not the number of questions,,


HOPE THIS HELPS...JUST RELAX AND FOCUS WITH YOUR PREP...THE REAL PERFORMANCE IN EXAM MATTERS MORE THAN PRACTICE TESTS AND SCORES CAN BE BETTER OF IN REAL GMAT THAN IN GMATPREP....

ALL THE BEST,, 8-)
