Cause you made mistakes in the first 5 questions and probably the mistake was an easy question. GMAT penalises easy questions harshly and if it’s in the first 5 then you are penalised more heavily.

Have been there so know exactly what you are going through, and honestly it’s not supposed to make sense to us, we have to accept it and move one and reappear if necessary.

In my official mock, 2nd 5th and other 3 wrong, i have got Q84, how is it possible?
Is there significant difference between official mock and real exam?

I agree, they were probably easy questions, again GMAT is not linearly adaptive and all of this is a theory. No one knows what really happened 😅

I would say focus on your prep and don’t worry much about these things (easy to say I know been there 😅 but yeah try)
