I recently took 2 Verbal CATs here at GMATClub
In one: 6 mistakes V38
In the other one: 9 mistakes V42
Is this sort of discrepancy normal? Which score am I supposed to consider the normal one?
V42 seems closer to the one because I took a MGMAT mock as well and got a similar score with 7 incorrect.
Can someone please guide me?
Thanks

Hi av1901.
The number of questions you miss is only one factor underlying your GMAT verbal score. The difficulties of the questions you miss and get correct matter as well.
So, for example, you can score V38 on the GMAT with anywhere from around 5 to 11 missed counted (as opposed to experimental) questions depending on the levels of difficulty of the questions you missed or got correct.
Still, there are normal, or common, numbers of questions that people miss to get certain verbal scores.
A common number of counted questions to miss to score V42 is 4 or 5. If you want to take uncounted questions into account as well, we could say that a normal number to miss to score V42 is 6.
A common number of counted questions to miss to score V38 is 7 or 8. If you want to take uncounted questions into account as well, we could say that a normal number to miss to score V38 is 9.
For some more insights into how the GMAT is scored and how many questions you can miss to get different scores. see this post.

On the actual exam or Official Mocks, probably fair to say a V42 is not directly related to a fixed percentage correct vs. incorrect formula. You may want to check some of the V42 publicly available ESRs on the forum for more insight. At the higher end, you may see the level of accuracy required increase quite steeply to the extent you can tell in a sense whether a certain number of incorrect questions should translate to a certain score. A V48, for example, is the result of 1 incorrect counted choice.
