Hi,
Recently I gave 3 verbal tests of GMATCLUB. In last 3 tests I scored 34,33, and 29.
In the last test when I scored 29, I observed that my accuracy level was much higher than in rest of the exams. Moreover, number of difficult questions ( 600 and 700 level) were fairly similar in all the tests.
I have attached screenshot of my recent tests.
Kindly revert if there is any discrepancy in calculating verbal scores.

There is no discrepancy.
Your GMAT score does not depend solely on the number of questions you get correct/incorrect. It also depends on the difficulty level of the questions you get correct/incorrect.
You could miss 5 easy/medium questions and score lower than if you'd missed 10 difficult questions.
On this last test, you may have been tired, or didn't pace appropriately.

Hi askul2389,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize (and score results are based on more than just the number of correct answers). Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs.
Beyond that point, many Test Takers become overly focused on the 'implied level' of the questions that they're answering instead of the bigger issues - namely WHY they're getting questions wrong. To consistently score at a higher level, you'll need to make some adjustments to how you currently handle the GMAT. Before we can talk about how best to do that, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
