At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Try not to go by the number of questions you got right. The GMAT is an adaptive test, and test takers could get very different scaled scores even if they get exactly the same number of questions correct.

Hi Nick90,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. It takes into account a number of different factors - far more than just the number of correct answers. As such, you shouldn't be spending time trying to figure it all out. You'd be better served working on building up your skills. A far more useful gauge would be to review each CAT and determine how many questions you SHOULD have gotten correct, but didn't (due to a silly/little mistake). Those mistakes are the things that you have to fix to score at a higher level.
From your profile, you already appear to have scored 750 on the Official GMAT (which is an outstanding score that 98% of Test Takers will never achieve in their lives), so why are you still studying?
