My friend who had taken a mock from GMAT Prep1 didn't attempt verbal at all in his mock.
He got V11 in his mock.
From his mock in his review section, I attempted all the 36 Questions and got 34 Correct in a time of 2 hours(almost double)
Taking this scenario into consideration( include factors such as Difficulty for a V11 and the time taken is 2 hours), what could be a probable estimate of Verbal score.
I just need a baseline approximate Verbal score to start with my prep but I don't want to waste my GMAT Prep Exam for this.
So can someone please provide a base estimate Verbal Score for this scenario?
Thanks

It is impossible to tell 
However, I can tell you a few things:
1. Since your friend just clicked through and randomly guessed the questions to get a very low verbal score, oh the questions were likely very easy difficulty.
2. Given enough time, anyone can get all the questions right on the test. The challenge of the test is that the time is limited and you’re under pressure.
3. You did not take an adaptive test because the test has already been taken.
To summarize, I would say you you probably shouldn’t have done that because you’ve used up questions from GMAT prep which are pretty valuable. The good news is that they were all easy. However if you end up taking GMAT prep in the future and run into one of these, you must spend the time and not MoveOn as though you haven’t sold this question before. Even if you know the answer you still should wait 60 or 90 or 120 seconds before you can move onto the next question because otherwise your results will be skewed... dont do this again

Hi Anirudddh,
As BB has pointed out, there are a number of 'issues' with how you worked through that section, so there's no practical way to define your current 'Verbal ability' or likely Verbal Scaled Score based on these results. Based on what you have described, I assume that you have NOT taken any FULL-LENGTH practice CATs yet - and you really should take one. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
