Hi Guys,
I am quite disappointed with my GMAT Score. I only managed to get into the 43 percentile in Quantitative Section and only 26 percentile in the Verbal Section.
One week before the test I always managed to get at least 75% in the Quantitative Section right (on the gmat willey medium and hard questions) and finished most of the time 10 minutes early. On the verbal part I got between 50 and 75% of the easy, medium and hard questions right.
Does anyone know what score is possible with 75% in the QS and 50% in the VS?

Dear OHS,
unfortunately the GMAT score is not compounded as you might think. Not only the # of correctly answered questions count, but also the difficulty of the questions.
Most likely you got a lot of easy questions, and even though you answered correctly, it was not sufficient to get more difficult questions.

Hi Oli,
I've seen different answers to your question about accuracy - as it all boils down to the difficulty level. A few experts even go to the extent to comment that 60% accuracy with 700-800 level question would yield better score than 75% accuracy with 500-600 or 600-700 questions. The best bet is to avoid silly mistakes, as it's usually the cause, in most of the sub-600 level questions.
Good luck with your next attempt
