I know it isn't exactly the same thing, but I got one wrong on the SAT math back when I was getting into undergrad and got an 800.

GRE didn't tell me if I missed any, just a score. But if it is a pure percentile thing, you'd think that 800 Quantitative would be higher than 94th percentile... and that 610 on Verbal would be lower than 89th...

Oh yeah, and on the GRE it isn't how many you miss, but which ones you miss (if you take the computer test). If you miss early questions, they give you easier questions later and your ceiling immediately drops.
