Hi vipuldivyanshu.
It's pretty common to score 700 with Q48 V 38.
So, basically, your Quant performance was high enough to get you to Q49, rather than Q48, but your combined Quant and Verbal performance was not high enough to get you to 710 rather than 700.
So, your score is not out of line of what can be expected with Q49 V38.
Thanks for the quick reply Marty

, so what I understand is even V38 at times can add up to less than other V36 for the same Q49, depending on how the recent trend of other test takers' verbal performance. Got it!
Will get back to the prepping then.
Cheers!
Actually, the outcome has nothing to do with other test-takers' performance, and I'm not sure how someone woudl score 710 with V36 and Q49, but your combined performance is what underlies your total score.
Here's a way to look at what occurred.
A range of Quant or Verbal performance can result in the same section score.
For someone to score 710, if doing so is even possible, with Q49 and V36, that test-taker would have to be scoring at the top of the range of performance represented by Q49 and at the top of the range of performance represented by V36.
If another test-taker's performance was not as strong for the Q49 and V36, that test-taker would score 690 with the same two section scores.
Similarly, Q49 and V38 can represent performance that gets you 720, 710 , or 700, with the same section scores, because those section scores represent ranges of performance.
