Good morning,
I am very new to the GMAT Club and I am sorry if this is not the appropriate forum where to ask such a question. I'd like to ask something about the GMAT Score Estimator available in My Error Log Stats. When it comes to verbal, it assigned me a 27 which I sincerely can't understand. How is it possibile or how does it work?
My Verbal correct exercises % divided by score range are:
100% Sub600 level.
95.8% 600-700 level.
69.4% 700 level.
I can't figure out why my verbal result is so low. Is it normal to get such a low result with these percentages?
Thanks,
best regards

Hi fsobrero.

I would expect you to score in the upper 30s to low 40s with those accuracies.

Could the estimator be taking into account the amount of time you spent per question?

While it's best to do most of your verbal practice untimed, if you were spending a lot of time on each question, maybe the estimator somehow took that time spent into account.

i would say ignore those stats , they are dependent on your attempt done on timer questions ...
focus more on learning and why answer is correct .... the only reliable score predictor are the mocks .. o

Then, I'm not sure what's going on. You're looking good for upper 30s at least as far as I can tell.

By the way, you'd be better off spending more time per question and getting more correct. By doing so, you'd drive your expected verbal score well into the 40s.
