Hi all,
I took both exams on GMATprep but I found it to be scoring very weirdly.
For instance for the second exam, I got 12 out of 37 wrong for quantitive, and 10 out of 41 for verbal. This would lead one to believe that I did much better on verbal, Right? 25/37 (67%) for quantitive vs 30/41 (75%) for verbal. Well, it turns out it's the compelte opposite; I got 48 on quantitative but 39 on verbal
I could understand if the score was similar between the two, or even if quantitive was slightly higher but, in this case 48 is almost 25% higher grade than verbal's 39, when quantitive should be 8% lower than verbal.
How is this possible? I found the same reuslt on the first exam too, although I don't remember the exact details of the score.
What's going on here? Is this just an freak occurence, related to experiemtnal q's, etc.?

no... nothing weird.... it is just a complicated scoring algorithm.
the score depends on the level of difficulty of each question, as well as its location in the test.
your score is not necessarily related to the number of questions you got wrong, but mainly to which (not how many...) questions you gave correct answer, and (but less importantly) at what stage of the test you answered them....

It is adaptive. Some questions don't even count I expect, much like in the GMAT.
Ulitmately, you will never know. Just accept that GMATPrep is going to be as close as you get to a true estimate.
