And also, how many questions, on an average, am I allowed to get wrong if I want to get V45? Or is there no specific rule which governs this?

Hi Kyle!

Thank you for the reply!
Well, I had worked through all the OG problems in SC and CR. When I saw that I could do them pretty easily, I made the mistake of getting overconfident about my English skills. Learnt my lesson now :oops:
Anyway, I just skimmed through the Manhattan SC book. And I'm working my way through Sentence Correction sets, on which I tend to make maximum mistakes. Can you suggest some other books other than the OG?
If I have time, I'll work my way through the Powerscore CR book as well.
Hoping for the best!

With a week to go you don't have time to get through a lot of material. I would recommend going deeper on the MGMAT SC book and doing practice in the OG focusing on the specific grammatical catergories (the SC book has a list of OG problems by type). You really need to understand why you are missing problems so review your OG work thoroughly. Did you also buy the OG verbal supplement?

Due to the adaptive nature of the test most people will miss about the same number of problems. It's not how many you get right or wrong that determines your score, it's the difficulty of those questions you get right or wrong.
