Hey!!

How can I score 21 on verbal section with 11 wrong answers ? Once I had 21 wrong answers and got exactly the same score, 21. Someone can explain me that, please.

SC- 7/11
CR-5/9

Why I got 21 on verbal section with 11 wrong answers. I just don't understand, comparing this test with one I did before, I got exactly the same score. However in the other test I got 21 wrong answers. Can you explain why that happened ? Thank you

Hi goncaloverdasca,

Are you talking about the official free CATs from mba.com?

GMAT is an adaptive test, so the scoring does not depend on the number of correct/incorrect answers. Check here:

Were those 11 incorrect questions in the beginning?

Akela Hi!! Yes it was one of the mock tests from the official gmat prep. On the first ten questions I did 3 wrong, then the next 10 I missed 5 and finally until the end of the test missed more 3.

Hi goncaloverdasca,

Your GMAT score is based on not only the number of questions you answer correct/incorrect, but also the difficulty of those questions. So, it’s likely that on the test in which you got only 11 questions wrong, many of those questions were of an “easy” level. In any case, I think the bigger concern is that you are scoring a 21 on verbal, right? What is your verbal score goal, and do you need any advice regarding how to improve your verbal skills?
