Can I file a compliant too? I mean, will they take me seriously (referring to my poor score)? Or should I wait for the outcome of the report that the administration lady made? And also, due to the delay of the administration lady, I also had to guess the last 3(?) questions. Never thought exams, like gmat, had such flaws.

Scored a 370 :( (q28, v15) (cant believe it myself either). 2nd effort (better than first though..). whereas I need a 600 score, but they will also concider a 500-600 score. But, I have one comment. The administrative lady, who needs to login for me was too late after my break (she was no where to be found). I lost more than 2 mins on the quantative. And it disrupted my concentration at the beginnen of the quantitative section. I was stressed and didn't know what to do. She said she is going to report that to VUE..But as for me, is there any chance for me retaking it again, for FREE? And they asked me to forfit the exam, but I didn't. Was it better to forfit or did I do good by continuing the test? And also, on some questions on the verbal section, my computer was reacting very slow at time, as in loading the questions and the answers on the screen. But the time was still running normally. I told the lady that too, but she didn't make a report from that :s. About the score, I know I can do better, although, I also know that I am not good at quantative, but I can do a LOT better on verbal. The one thing that always kills me at verbal is time. When I see that I run out of time, I automatically skip (guess) some answers.

Hi all, another question: What is the number of members of club X who are at least 35 years of age? (1). Exactly 3/4 of the members of club X are under 35 years of age. (2). The 64 women in club X constitute 40% of the clubs membership. I was doubting about C, or E. I picked E, because it doest give the number of men. Am I thinking in the right direction?
