Yup, it's a carry over from the 3rd edition books...heh, two editions later and it's still here...I don't think they have noticed yet. I just convert the 3rd edition scaled scores to percentages and compare the percentage I get right and get a rough estimate that way.

the score is based on the old way of measuring verbal. that is, the highest you get can get is a 13-15. that is why the scale only goes up to 13 for verbal.

Yeah, if you count the number of questions in the 30min exams there are a total of 21, but the grading scale goes up to 23.
