Hi GMATbuster92,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. First off, your verbal score is based on not only the number of questions you answer correct/incorrect, but also the difficulty of those questions, among other things. Thus, rather than spending timing worrying about the GMAC algorithm, you really should focus on the things you can control, and the number one thing you can control is getting better at the GMAT. If you get to a point at which you can dominate the GMAT, the specifics of the scoring algorithm won't matter because you will have the skills you need to get an amazing score, right?

That being said, I see you scored a V28 on your latest practice exam, and your actual GMAT is in 7 days. What is your actual goal score? If necessary, are you able to take your GMAT at a later date?

Please reach out with any further questions.
