Gmac's reply-
Thank you for contacting GMAT Customer Service.
Each exam goes through a two-step scoring process using different algorithms. The exam is scored both at the testing center and again when the results arrive at the Pearson VUE hub. The two scores are compared and if there are any differences, the result is sent to our technical team for investigation. For a score to become reportable, all results must match 100%. The scores that you received on both your unofficial and official score reports are accurate and contain no errors.
Though i have mailed them again(what's the harm in trying) in the hope that they atleast investigate the case!

Hi Paumilpatel,
Thanks for sharing your GMAT Focus experience, and congrats on your very solid 635 (85%) starting score.
Considering that there are only 30 points available per GMAT Focus Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights section (60-90), losing 6 points on Quant (20% of the available points) for just 1 question wrong (less than 5% of the 21 questions) is indeed insanity.
On the other side of the Focus scoring curve, however, I've seen students losing nearly as little as a half-point per question. For example, a private tutoring student recently scored Q87 with 2 wrong, V88 with 2 wrong, and DI82 with 7 wrong.
Presumably, these students earned harder questions overall, due to the question adaptive scoring algorithm, and perhaps also benefitted from the additional section adaptivity of the GMAT Focus.
There is also another consideration: when you answer an easy question wrong, you lose more points than when you answer a hard question wrong (and vice versa). Perhaps you made a careless mistake on what GMAC considered an easy/medium question.
There some is good news, however: for example, to state the obvious, you are only one question away from a perfect 90/90 on Quant! Your overall Quant percentile (85%) is also very strong, and is comparable to a Q50/51 (86%) on the classic GMAT.
For your reference, I've also posted images below of the GMAT Focus (top) and GMAT classic (bottom) percentile tables for Quant.
Any chance you could post the actual images of your ESR? Thanks!
