Yes, I think you have already understood that rather than just looking at the absolute number of inaccurate questions, it is important to look at the level of the difficulty, timing etc before you could infer anything about your verbal score. For e.g. The penalty is very severe on getting a easy question wrong.

All the best!!

Hi naina168,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. To reiterate, your GMAT score is based on not only the number of questions you answer correct/incorrect, but also the difficulty of those questions, among other things. Rather than spending time worrying about the GMAC algorithm, you really should focus on the things you can control, and the number one thing you can control is getting better at the GMAT. If you get to a point at which you can dominate the GMAT, the specifics of the scoring algorithm won't matter because you will to have the skills that you need to get an amazing score, right?

With that said, when is your GMAT? What is your GMAT score goal?

You may find it helpful to read this article about
how to score a 700+ on the GMAT.

If you have any further questions, please reach out.

Good luck!
