strange thing though with verbal
V38
first part 62%
second part 57%
third part 71%
fourth part 62%

mine 30:
1st - 62%
2nd - 71%
3rd - 86%
4th - 62%

although I was better of overall, I got a lower score.
I really don't understand why getting to the hard verbal questions is so hard, even though you answer questions correctly...

I also don't get the same difference. Really catchy :D

Hi Crazypanda,

Yours are really different stats. the magical early stage 100% accuracy at play :D

Though there is no gyan here. but i see that algorithm got excited to give you a fight after you nailed first 10 with 100% accuracy in verbal. you were on your way to V40+ and it gave some STRANGE questions to tackle after first 10. was it the case??

Looking at quant stats I see that algorithm does give us a chance at the early stage to get up and move the accuracy up but same is not the case in last 10 questions because you may nail all last 10 questions with 100% accuracy but those would be low difficulty questions. No surprise here.

Yes. Questions got really tough by the time i reached Q 9/10. I panicked nd tried to do my best. Today I got at my Beta report and was surprised to know that I was really doing good in early questions :shock: Pity that I'm unable to maintain that momentum.

I will now analyze my mocks in sets of 9 questions to see how much I'm able to push the bar and sustain :)

It could be the case that the V38 started out stronger and was put on a higher bracket and therefore faced more difficult questions, resulting in a lower accuracy ratio but a higher score. We'll know for sure if the poster shares the average difficulty chart.

but if the difficulty level started at a higher than medium level, it automatically makes the test unfair!!!
hope we'll see the difficulty level chart..
it might be the case that he got no experimental questions in the first set, while I got lots of them, which in the end did not count towards the final score and difficulty level overall..

I mean that the test taker started out strong, not that the test started out difficult. ;)

well, if you look at the success rate (62% for first part), we got the same number of correct answers...
so it is something else..most likely experimental questions...

Yes, Only experimental questions can differentiate in this particular case else there seems no other reason. If this is true then new insight is that experimental questions can come so early as well.

strange thing though...if experimental don't count at all, then why are these included in the ESR? :)

because they are part of the counting. by the way, GMAC is not going to give everything crystal clear to us.

Sounds like you overlooked the possibility that your wrong answers are closer to the end of the quarter while the other person's wrong answers are closer to the beginning.

well, again, these are just guesses..would be good to see the difficulty chart..I believe it will clear the confusion here :)
but what you said can be true..
it might be that I got first questions wrong - thus difficulty level dropped sharply in the beginning, making it tougher to get to hard questions, while he got for ex. 4 right, 1 wrong, 4 right, then again 1 wrong...overall, he will be at a more difficult level than me.

[size=110]One thing that can be gleaned from the ESR data is that the quant section does indeed have 9 experimental questions and the verbal has 11 experimental questions. These numbers were what I had seen mentioned for the longest time, but this is the first time it is being confirmed by official data.

Why do you think there are 9 and 11 experimental Qs in quant and verbal?

Because 2,2,2,3 are the numbers needed for the percentages to make sense for the Quant divisions.
2+2+2+3=9
2,3,3,3 are the numbers for Verbal.
2+3+3+3=11

Does this make sense?
