That's where I think the problem is. Remember that the GMAT is a C.A.T. So, the number of questions that you get wrong really is not a good indicator of your final score. Rather, it is the difficulty of the questions that you get right/wrong. So, if you get three questions wrong in a row, the difficulty level of the questions (and the alloted scores) will drop pretty steeply. And yes, it is an unwritten rule: Try not to make mistakes on the first ten questions. That's where the test is making huge changes to zero down on your difficulty level. So, my advice would be: spend more time on the first few questions and get 'em right. Questions that you get wrong later will probably not hurt as much as those within the first ten.
