I took Exam #6 in exam pack 2 (through official GMAC software), and I got a 45, despite only getting 2 questions wrong.
I got one RC wrong (see link below), a question that only 37% people get right on GMATclub, and this bumped my RC subsection score all the way down to a 40. This was question 20 on the test.
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ultimate-pen ... 22910.html (Question #1)
I also got one SC question (question #41), which I guess to be fair is supposed to be a 600-700 level question.
https://gmatclub.com/forum/as-charles-d ... 81321.html
However, this only bumped my SC subsection score down to a 45. So to recap I got 12/13 RC corrrect, 11/11 CR correct, and 16/17 SC correct.
So my questions are as follows,
1) how does getting one RC question wrong that is apparently is pretty difficult bump the score all the way down to 40 (I've gotten one question wrong before and it had a much lesser impact), and just getting 2 questions wrong bump the score all the way down a 45?
2) In Quant you can get like 10-15 questions wrong and still get a 45. Why are the scales so different? I understand why the percentiles are so different, given the international distribution of test takers, but if anything that should give you a bigger margin of error on verbal to get questions wrong if more people do worse on the verbal section. Does anyone have any insight?
Thank you in advance.
