Hi All,
I have taken 2 gmatclub tests beta verbal cats till now and would really appreciate if any one could clarify whether there is any anomaly with the scoring algorithm. I am curious about this because in both the tests I got the same score. Even tough the number of questions I got correct on both the tests are same, there is a start contrast between the level of questions I faced on both occasions. I am breaking down the number of questions types for you guys to have a better picture,
CAT 1 = 31 (Verbal) (27 Correct, 12 Wrong, 2 Left)
600 Level Questions = 20 (Correct = 13, Wrong = 5, Left = 2)
700 Level Questions = 09 (Correct = 03, Wrong = 06)
500 Level Questions = 12 (Correct = 11, Wrong = 01)
CAT 2 = 31 (Verbal) (26 Correct, 15 Wrong, 0 Left) (Out of first 20 questions I had 16 correct, but unfortunately had to rush through the last 6 questions and that probably decreased my accuracy of four 600 Level questions. )
600 Level Questions = 13 (Correct = 7, Wrong = 6)
700 Level Questions = 22 (Correct = 13, Wrong = 9)
500 Level Questions = 06 (Correct = 06, Wrong = 0)
Also, on a side note, how many 700 level questions one can expect to encounter if he is moving towards a verbal score of 42-45.
Many Thanks.

Hi! Our verbal tests are not as hard when compared to the Quant ones.
Thus it takes a greater number of questions to get a high Verbal Score vs. what you need in the Quant tests.
The algorithm seems to work correctly as you have failed to answer 2 questions in the first case - that's a 8 percentile penalty right away (GMAC says it is 3 percentiles per question but we feel it is closer to 4 when you consider leaving a question vs. getting it wrong).
As to the Real GMAT, there is no telling how many questions of what level it takes to get a high score. There are too many variables: sequence, how many experimental questions you get, and finally that nobody knows the official algorithm.
Good Luck!
