GMAT Prep score (validity question) [#permalink] New post   25 Sep 2006, 18:24
ok ok.. I know the experts here probably get this question a lot...but I thought I would ask again anyway!

Is it possible to miss 10 questions on the quant and still get a 49? Thats what happened to me on on a GMAT prep test.. I missed the first question...but really got on a role for about 12 questions..

My understanding was that a 49 usually equated to only missing 3 or 4.. thoughts? Thanks!!

Well... I am no expert, but here's my 2-cents.

Getting a 49 is not necessarily based on the number of incorrect; it might have more to do with the scale of difficulty you see on the test. If you have gotten more of the "higher-difficulty" questions correct, then you can still score a Q49 I believe.

In my tests I have seen 11 wrong to get a Q49 or Q48. So I wouldn't discount that possibility.

But, as I said, let the experts chime in.

It does not depend on the first 10. This is a myth. IT depends on how hard the questions you get right and the questions you get wrong are.
