1) Focus on and re-read 5). 60-(2)(2)=56. 60-(3)(2)=54.
2) In reality, to "pass", you can only have a few mistakes and zero skips. There is not enough time nor are you good enough to answer 70-80 questions.
3) If, out of sheer dumb luck, you correctly guess the answers to many questions, you'll get "found out" in the next interview(s).
4) As I said before, you can easily be "psyched out" by other applicants who are writing down answers faster than you are.
The confusion came in on the skip/omissions. I assume you mean skipping or omitting questions up until the highest number you complete, not skipping or omitting questions out of 80. That is where I and the previous poster probably got confused. It made it seem that if you answered 60 you omitted 20 of the last questions for a -40.
So basically if you answer the first 60 questions, they do not ding you for not getting to the last 20, if so then it makes sense.
1) Unanswered questions after your last answered question do not get penalized as skips.
2) Skips occur between question-1 and your last answered question.
3) If you only answer the first 60 questions correctly, your score is (60)(+1)= +60.
4) If you answer 60 of 80 questions correctly AND skip 20 questions along the way, your score is (60)(+1)+(20)(-2)= +20 whereupon the administrator will tell you that you forever disqualified from ever re-applying to the firm.

1) ?.....multiply by 2 and subtract 2 to the exponent (N minus 1).
2) Obvious/blatant fibonacci sequence, the sum of two elements produces the next element, with an alternating sign.
3)?......+4, -8, +16, -32........(negative 2) raised to the exponent (N plus 1)
4) Keep practicing!
