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.

Could you please tell me if it is possible to get all (31) Quant questions correct on GMAT?
Should the algorithm not try to increase the difficulty level so high that the student would mark at least one question incorrectly? I saw someone get a Q51 score on mock GMAT prep test with 0 incorrect answers. Just curious!! bbGMATNinja GMATNinja2 Bunuel

The GMAT is created by humans, and some humans will be capable of answering every question correctly. It's rare, but it happens. I can do it on my best days, but I've also been "studying" for the GMAT (i.e. working as a tutor) for 20+ years. And I still can't always pull it off.
But it also doesn't matter AT ALL. Missing a few questions definitely won't keep you out of graduate school, and that's all that really matters. Fetishizing perfect scores is a popular sport around here, but it's also a waste of time.
I checked all questions in the GMAT prep test that I mentioned earlier; they didn't all seem very difficult to be honest- infact most of them felt like easy-medium questions.
Is there a chance that the algorithm in the prep tests isn't the same as the one in the main test? Sorry if I am digging too much!

The algorithm is basically the same -- both the practice tests and the actual exam use a lovely thing called the three-parameter logistic model.
But "checking questions" and saying that they didn't "seem very difficult" bears no resemblance to the experience of actually answering 31 questions in a row under time pressure. If you don't think it's difficult to answer all 31 questions correctly, then you need to try doing it ASAP.
And if they really are easy for you, congratulations! In that case, stop wasting your time in this section of the forum, and concentrate on either verbal or your MBA applications.
It is possible to score 51 in GMAT, highest possible score. But it may be harder to get all 31 answers correct.

Dear experts,

You can certainly get all 31 quant questions correct when you take the GMAT.
To do so, you need two things.
- You need to be skilled in all areas of GMAT quant.
- You need to be skilled in working accurately.
That's it, because here's the thing. The quant questions don't just keep getting harder and harder as you get them correct. Rather, they get harder for a while, and then the average difficulty stabilizes, and you get some rather hard questions mixed with medium-hard questions.
Here's the quant portion of the ESR for a GMAT on which the all quant questions were answered correctly. You can see that the average difficulty of the questions stabilized and then even decreased a little.
For some tips you can use to achieve perfect accuracy on the quant section of the GMAT, see these posts.
