Dear all,
I have just finished one of the Kaplan CATs and the score I got seems pretty strange to me:
Q51 (first 14 right...somewhere in the middle are all of my 14 wrong answers)
V28 (21 wrong - mostly in the beginning and in the end)
Total Score: 710 (92 percentile)
So my questions are:
1) How can you get 51 in quant with 14 wrong answers?
2) How accurate is this 710? Using a table for score calculations posted in this site (...gmat-scores-83890.html) is seems that with this low verbal section I should be somewhere between 660-680.
I am taking the GMAT in 2 weeks (after 2 months preparation) and I am aming at a score in the range of 690-710
Thank you!
Best Regards

PS: Just for a comparison:
Before 3 weeks I began taking mock exams. First results were stable 600-610 (Veritas; Kaplan) with Q43-47 and V25-28
I managed to increase the score to 640-650 last week (Veritas, Princeton) with Q48-51 and V28-30
Yesterday I did the The Economist mock and scored 710-750 (Q50-53; V38-42)
I am also not sure about this Verbal section score inconsistency in the last few days :/

Hi mate,
how many questions wrong are needed to get q51 - is not the right question.
there are few factors that are taken into consideration when the raw sub-score is calculated.
it might be the case that you got pretty fast (in 14 questions) to the highest level of difficulty, and then, taking turns, you responded correctly/incorrectly.
Q51; V28 - is definitely not close to 710. I would not rely much on economist. I got 750 on its brightest minds contest, yet got 650 on real test.
Q53 - that is unlikely, as 51 is the max score possible on gmat.

You're comparing scores across (different) tests. And I don't see a GMATPrep score anywhere in your post. The official practice tests provide far more reliable score estimates. If you haven't taken a GMATPrep yet, try to take one as soon as possible. I am also not sure about this Verbal section score inconsistency in the last few days :/
