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, I took the GMAT once, and it didn´t went well (due lack fo preparation). I am planning to do it again. But for applying for my masters I can also take the GRE. What are your experiences on the GRE compared to GMAT. And what would you all advice me, GMAT or GRE :)

Hi. What i'd like to know. 1/3 of the math and 1/3 of the verbal are "fake"questions, to let ETS know if they can put them in for the next couple of years. Now what i'd like to know: 1. Do those question also appear on the gmatprep? 2. If you get those questions right, you dont get any points, and if you get them wrong, they wont deduct points. Am i right? 3. So the final score is based on 37-1/3 questions and 41-1/3 of the questions. Right? 4. HOw can you figure out which questions are real and which are fake? Or is it just not possible?

could anybody tell me, according to the figures above, what I have score for a 500-600? (expressed in Q and V pls). Cuz i dont really get the chart above. Example; Q24(scr) (14%) - V21(scr) (24%). That should be 38%, that would make it a 500 right?? I am so stressed out now, I have to know if I can make it! :(

Yup you're right I see! :)

Is the integer Q a perfect square (1) Q is even (2) 13 So, Q is 14 or 16. 16=4Root2. So it is 16. So therefor the answer is C right? Or is it E because Q can be either 14 or 16? Cuz right now i m doing the test from princeton review. And i am very bad at DS becuz those type of questions.
