Everyone is (rightly) upset and focused on the "no new questions or logic-based DS in the GMAT Focus official materials!" issue.
However, I'm still thinking about those wacky GMAT Focus to GMAT Classic (and vice versa) concordance tables.
Two burning questions:
1) Why don't the 2 tables equate to the same scores in both directions?
2) How can we possibly convert a GMAT Focus score to a classic GMAT score, when IR doesn't count toward the total score on the classic GMAT, but DI does count toward the total score on the Focus?
Obviously a 760 with an 8 on IR would convert to a much higher Focus score than a 760 with a 1 on IR, for example.

I think it is a very good question but I feel the Focus has so many whacky things, that this one does not quite come to the top of the whacky list... but yes, it is comparing apples and oranges and there is a question how they completed these in general and published ahead of time. Perhaps they have used the IR scores from current tests? It is suspect.
