Hi guys!
I’ve seen a few other discussion posts about this topic, however I still don’t understand how my verbal score dropped so low.
My goal for the official GMAT is to score V38-V40 and in other Prep Exams I already scored 38 or 37. Feeling confident I took another Prep Exam today, however my score dropped to 33. I only had 9 questions incorrect, which were also kind of evenly spread out (6,10,13,22,27,29,31,34,36). 1 CR wrong (6), 4SC (10,13,22,27) and 4RC (29,31,34,36)
Does anyone know what could be the reason for this score? Thanks in advance guys

That does seem a bit harsh, Timbo99. Even so, I am sure that block of missed questions toward the end dragged down the score. I am not sure whether the mocks are quite as adaptive as the real exam, but it is also possible that because you kept missing questions throughout, the program did not generate any harder questions while you kept bouncing back and forth within a lower range. My advice is to worry less about the actual score and to put more emphasis on getting to the bottom of the types of questions you missed. Perhaps your goal for your next mock should be to miss no more than six questions, then four, and so on. When you set realistic goals and put in hard work week after week, but allow yourself to make mistakes, too, you improve your performance on the test. No one will dispute that the fewer questions you miss, the better you will perform.
Good luck with your studies.

Agree with Andrew .
I have learned that in some cases the longer is the streak of correct answers, the more rewarding is the final score .
If the streak is longer than 12 in 1st 18 question , then there is a high chance of getting >v38 even with 9 overall wrong answers , provided the incorrect answers streak is not more than 3.
However , I would recommend not to worry on all these calculation.
Mastering the contents and focusing on the process of solving a question in the exam condition are likely to take you closer to your target score.
