Hello,
Apologies in advance if I'm posting in the wrong section or if this has already been discussed.
I've just taken a GMATPrep practice test to get a baseline score. I've made several mistakes (>10) in both Quant and Verbal and somehow ended up with a test score of 710. Can someone explain this to me? Links to screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/FyoMG
Should I burn the next practice test as well on trying to get a better estimate of where I'm at?
Thanks,
Teja

That seems pretty standard and normal (though you can never really estimate the score based on the number of questions you get wrong... that's the trick with the GMAT. You can get only 8 wrong and get a Q48 or you can get 12 and get Q51)... it is not about how many you get wrong but about how many hard questions you get right.

Teja,
That is perfectly normal for the GMATPrep practice tests. For example, on the first GMATPrep test one could get a Q51 in quant with six mistakes. There is of course variation from tests to tests, meaning in the actual exam the average difficulty of the exam could be lower, but in the end the final score depends on the number of correct, and the difficulty of the questions answered correctly.
Cheers,
