I have a problem figuring out the way verbal algorithm works. I took GMATPrep exam today; I made 14 questions wrong - the first seven were from first 30 questions and the last seven were from last 11 questions. I ended up getting V29.
Questions: 1 - 10 - 4 wrongs
11 - 20 - 1 wrongs
21 - 30 - 2 wrongs - till this point, I had only 7 wrongs.
31 - 41 - 7 wrongs
I had made 15 and 10 questions wrong in the other GMATPrep tests, and still managed to get V35 and V40, respectively. With just 14 wrong can the verbal scroe plunge to V29. i mean I don't suspect the algorithm, but I just can't believe it.
The algorithm is puzzling me. Is there any particular reason behind this? Experts can you please help me evaluate my mistake?

First, let me tell you there is no joy trying to play around the algorithm. Don't spend too much time analysing it. The experimental questions appear anywhere.
Check the what if scenarios which give an approximate picture. I believe the first 4wrongs cost you much

Your score is going to adapt based as you get questions right or wrong. If you got a large number wrong initially, it would be hard to "dig yourself" out and get a high score since you got 14 total wrong.
