Q83 with Two Questions Wrong - How?

Question

Hi all,

Took the exam for the second time on Monday and got a 685 (Q83 V85 DI 84). I assume I made a dumb mistake or two in quant but I checked my score report and I only missed two questions, the 16th and the 21st.

I didn't miss any early questions or multiple in a row, I got 15 correct in a row, and I didn't go back and change any of my answers. I genuinely don't understand how this is a Q83. Would love to hear people's thoughts on this. Thanks!

Sorry. That sucks.

What do you think about 80 with 1? 😵🥴 https://gmatclub.com/forum/only-1-q-wro ... 32984.html That's the most insane score I have seen yet.

The Understanding Your Score page on the MBA website mentions "three factors" Quant scores are based on you could check out. If you have the current official-guide, for example, the myth vs. fact info could be interesting to read as well. You could also check out debriefs by others who've scored a Q83 to get a further sense what types of performances can get that score.

It seems that many people are scoring perfectly in the Quant section, so even a single mistake is significantly impacting the score.

it’s an interesting theory.
I know originally, GMAT was trying to get away from the benching up of the scores such as Q51. Q49 was 79th percentile.... But I think that attempt, they have really created some questions 😬
