I attempted official mock 5 today and got a 660 (Q44, V37). I'm very disappointed with my quant score. It hardly gave me any hard questions and i ended up with 44th percentile:( I also thought that Q44 is a higher percentile but it says 44th.
Please help me to understand why did I not get any harder questions?
I have my exam in one week and the score today scared me! Previous mocks attempted were GMAT prep 3 and GMAT prep 6 and the scores were 700 and 690 respectively.

Hi sanyasanha.
To get harder questions on the GMAT, you have to get enough easy and medium questions correct in a row to work your way up to getting harder ones. So, it's likely that, when you took this latest test, you weren't getting questions correct in long enough streaks to get hard ones.
To more consistently get questions correct in streaks, you could do TTP streaks method practice, which is discussed in a later section of this post.

Is this test 5 in GMAT Prep?
Tests 3,4,5, and especially 6. Have a fixed database of questions that basically matches the number of questions you will receive. They only have 31 quant questions per quant test so it’s actually impossible for the system to give you any other questions because it just does not have them. In contrast, test one, and two have hundreds of questions in the database.
As the result, you basically get a somewhat adaptive test of average difficulty and the algorithm adjusts to the difficulty and since there are not many hard questions, you need to answer a lot of easy and medium questions correctly to get a good score. Some people have reported getting a low quant with just three incorrect answers.
This is supposed to be especially true for the test six. Test five is not as bad supposedly. This doesn’t really mean that the score is inaccurate or not realistic but you may have some anomalies… I would be curious about how many questions you got wrong in quant. Not that number of mistakes ever determines the score but I wonder if it was a fairly small number…
