I know this has been posted here many times, but this scoring completely doesn't make sense to me. I just finished the second GMATPrep test and I scored a 44, but I missed only 10 while last week I missed 18 (including the last 6 in a row and 8 out of the last 10) and scored a 46!! I even felt the questions this week were consistently harder. I did miss the first 3 in a row this week, but my next miss was problem 12 and the misses were spread out after that. WTF??? This makes no sense at all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Everything I've read says I should probably gotten over a 48. I think from my practice, my score should be in that range as well. I only had one 3 in a row miss on questions 1, 2 and 3, but other than that, my incorrect answers were sporadic.

Hi, You are right this is common question, but that is not a bad thing at all. The way the GMAT score is calculated is complicated. As with the verbal section, the Quant section also holds different values to each question. What I mean is, sometimes 3 questions or so, may hold the same value on your score as just 1 question. Depending on what the test considers to be more difficult and/or valid can have a higher effect on your score than a few others combined...they are not equal. I am going to provide you the links to 3 blog posts that explain the overall scoring for the GMAT: Part I - https://econgm.at/WCDpAK Part II - https://econgm.at/mkayuQ Part III - https://econgm.at/o56Q4w If you have any other questions or require more specific answers please feel free to ask. -Evan
Here Students can find GMAT Quantitative and Verbal practice test papers on any website for practice of GMAT exams. I found msmbainusa webpage with list of GMAT Quantitative practice test papers and it helps me a lot in my GMAT preparation.
The problem is that what we might consider an easy or a difficult problem may not truly be statistically easy or difficult. The official GMAT problems have a probability distribution for each problem that a student of a particular ability is able to answer. I know from personal experience that an official GMAT problem that every student of mine considers to be easy turned out to be one that almost everyone was missing. In summary, you just have to trust the GMAT algorithm, each question has a detailed statistics associated with it and the final score takes in to account how many you got right and what the difficulty level of those questions were.
