Percent right on GMAT?

I know that due to the algorithm this isn't really an easy question to answer.... but what level of percent were you getting right on everything before you starting to get scores into the 700s? I'm using 3 sources... Manhattan, Magoosh, and The OG Guides. On the OG Guide and Magoosh I'm getting problems 70-85% right depending on the subject. For example: I just did about 15 Algebra problems, most were hard and a few were medium. I got 78% correct. I tried doing the actual Manhattan practice problems for RC and Algebra today.... and those were literally the hardest problems I've ever seen. I'm not sure which one I should be practicing and focusing on more to prepare for the real test.

"notsoquant" Yeah, but I've generally scored a lot lower on MGMAT practice exams. For example, I scored a 760 on an official practice exam just now, but less than a week ago I scored 650 on a MGMAT practice exam. Although I have read that the range of your scores is surprisingly large for a given skill level, this still seems a bit absurd to me.

Edit: Found the answer

 

that's crazy you got a 48-49 on Q with 6-10 wrong but only got 4-8 wrong to get 40 V.... isn't V the area people score lower on?
