I've failed TOEFL and GMAT but I'll be back

I studied a few weeks in my free time to do this trial, so I realized that I got a lot of things to improve my scores.
I had to dig up my english (is not my native language) and math skills, but simply time killed me.
I expected 250 for the TOEFL , I scored 233 (L22 - S/W22 -R26) 4.0 essay
For the GMAT I expected 550 , I scored 490 . (Q36 - V 23)

I know these scores are a shame. But I am aware that I was far to do the best I can. I'll be back.

I wouldn't call those scores a "shame," you probably just didn't study enough, right? You'll be fine--those are pretty good starting scores for a non-native speaker of English.

Did you leave any questions blank on the GMAT? Did you get to all of the questions successfully? I am curious how much the GMAT deducts for an unanswered questions?
ERIN DO YOU KNOW?

GMAT doesn't tell us exactly, but you need to think of an unanswered question on the CBT just as you think of one on a paper-based test.

Dear Friend
Don't feel bad about your scores. I think my position is worse than yours.

I have already taken GMAT twice !!! and I got the same score 490. I have to admit that I was very depressed. This score, 490, got stucked in my head for two weeks. But now I feel much better. I have taken GMAT class again and I promise myself that I am going to study more and practise more. Remember ! Don't give up ! I know you will succeed.
