From looking at my scores especially on verbal. I realize it's impossible to get 49 or 50 if I had 3 wrongs in a row. I had 15 wrong on my MGMT exam and my score was 49. I got only a 48 when I had only 8 wrongs. The only difference between these 2 test other than have more wrong on my higher scoring test was that a had 3 wrongs in a row. The test I got 49 on the maximum number of wrong I had was 2 in a row. Same thing happened on my GMAT Prep Test. The first time I did it, I had 10 wrong and I scored 50. On Prep 2 I got 9 wrong and I scored a 48. The difference is that I had 3 in a row wrong again. I believe that it's okay for get the first few wrong and still get a pretty decent score.
For my test that were 49 and 50 I had 2 to 3 questions wrong within the 10 and yet my score was still pretty high. I think that as long as you don't get 3 wrongs in a row during the middle of the exam there should be no problem with getting 49+.
Notice the same thing in Verbal. Got first 4 right then the next 3 wrong, afterwards no more than 2 wrongs in a row. My score was 40.
My scores:
GMATPrep 1: Q:50 V:33 700
MGMT 1: Q:48 V:38 710
MGMT 2: Q:49 V33 670

i think the best thing to do is to keep the score algorithm at bay and keep focusing on reducing our error..i am also in the same boat, almost similar results and tried to find out the pattern or the reasoning behind the algorithm but in vain. moreover, even if we find the reasoning , it won't work on the actual test as there are one fourth experimental questions.
so the idea is to try reduce the error rate and that's the only thing we have in our hand..
though u may try the GMAT score Calculator (bb is the author), it's worth checking out once.
good luck.

Interesting observation! But would have to agree with rajeev, focus on reducing errors overall, as you may be thrown off in the actual exam by the experimental questions.
