Hello,
I just gave my GMAT yesterday and scored badly in the verbal section. However, I am surprised because I got two bold faced CR questions towards the end of the test.
Is it possible that one could end up with V25 and get bold faced questions?
Please suggest.
Thanks!
Dear
Aaina,
I'm happy to respond.
First of all, the GMAT has a HUGE question back, so that question-type is essentially independent of difficulty level. If you got a low verbal score, then probably toward the end of the section, the CAT was giving you low difficulty questions. Why it gave you a couple
BF questions at this point as opposed to some other format is purely a chance event.
Far more important right now is what you are going to do for your retake. Here are a few resources:
