I'm kinda happy but also very puzzled by my perfomance. During the test I had a feeling that i was doing Quant part away better than Verbal part. But the result - Q47 with 16 mistakes! How comes! So does it mean that my right answers were "heavier" than incorrect ones? Sure, the rest on the day I'll spend analyzing my mistakes

Gratz on the 700. Might not be the best thing to think too deeply about how the algorithm works. On the real exam there are also experimental questions by the way.

Hi Elle,

First of all, 700 is a great score. The number of mistakes is not the right parameter to assess your score. GMAT algorithm is a lot more complex and a lot depends on how you perform on individual quarters. You can go through the below recording to understand how the algorithm works.


Hope it helped. All the best :)
