CAT score interpretation

by gmat_aug Fri Aug 08, 2008 12:30 am

I attemped by 5th MGMAT test and got 720 (Q49, V39) however while doing review. I realized that average difficult for all question types (such as RC, CR, PS, DS) was below 720

Is this how actual GMAT also works? Can some one please explain how is this possible?

Section Accuracy Avg Corr Avg Incorr
Problem Solving 82% 640 700
Data Sufficiency 53% 690 720
Sentence Correction 80% 670 680
Critical Reasoning 64% 620 710
Reading Comprehension 50% 590 680
