Has anyone experienced getting several easy(ish) questions at the end of the quant section and still got a high score (49+)? I definitely had a few 700-800 questions in the exam that I know I got correct but was surprised to see a few easy ones at the end

Hey quickdash,

I’d say yes; it is possible. Also, it’s important to remember that questions that seem easy to you may be, in actuality, “hard,” right?

Since the test is over now, just try to hang tight until you get your score from GMAC. Once you get your score, let us know.

Yeah it happened for me as well. Getting last 3-4 questions on quant pretty easy and the final score was 50

(1) The difficulty level each of us feel about one particular question may be quite different from that assigned by GMAT.

(2) For test content coverage, GMAT may have to present test takers (esp. those already at 50-51 range) with slightly easier questions between different areas.

(3) A good strategy is to not to worry about assessing any question's difficult level but to answer each question carefully and speedily. Maintain the momentum. Enjoy the challenge!

Yes, it's possible to get 48+, with 2-3 easy questions in last set, 7-8 questions, of quant section.

Thanks all, will let you know how it goes. Took the exam on Friday. Scored 50-51 on all 6 of the official practices so was a bit alarmed to see the last question be ridiculously easy on the actual exam

Yes, the last few 3-4 questions are easier than the questions in the middle of the Quant section. I scored 49 three times in real gmat and that's what I consistently experienced.
