Hey Ninja,

Thanks a lot for your reply. It definitely helps!

I checked all questions in the GMAT prep test that I mentioned earlier; they didn't all seem very difficult to be honest- infact most of them felt like easy-medium questions.

Is there a chance that the algorithm in the prep tests isn't the same as the one in the main test? Sorry if I am digging too much!

The algorithm is basically the same -- both the practice tests and the actual exam use a lovely thing called the three-parameter logistic model.

But "checking questions" and saying that they didn't "seem very difficult" bears no resemblance to the experience of actually answering 31 questions in a row under time pressure. If you don't think it's difficult to answer all 31 questions correctly, then you need to try doing it ASAP.

And if they really are easy for you, congratulations! In that case, stop wasting your time in this section of the forum, and concentrate on either verbal or your MBA applications.

I do think it's difficult to get 31/31, hence the curiosity!

But really, thanks a lot for your reply! I'm a big fan of you

It is possible to score 51 in GMAT, highest possible score. But it may be harder to get all 31 answers correct.

Could you please tell me if it is possible to get all (31) Quant questions correct on GMAT?

Yes. The folk who get a Q51, for example, may get every single counted question correct (experimental ones don't count).

How to score high on the GMAT. Why solving approach is important.

You can certainly get all 31 quant questions correct when you take the GMAT.

To do so, you need two things.

- You need to be skilled in all areas of GMAT quant.

- You need to be skilled in working accurately.

That's it, because here's the thing. The quant questions don't just keep getting harder and harder as you get them correct. Rather, they get harder for a while, and then the average difficulty stabilizes, and you get some rather hard questions mixed with medium-hard questions.

Here's the quant portion of the ESR for a GMAT on which the all quant questions were answered correctly. You can see that the average difficulty of the questions stabilized and then even decreased a little.
