Hi to all, I would like to ask if anyone in this forum has any problem with his writin score,,,, Actaully my score was very disappointing & far a way from my expectations!!! This is my second attempt & I scored less with half point than the previous test!!! I really don't get it?? I have practiced very well to it & I have done OK at the exam with the argument better than the analysis, but nevertheless I'm sure that I don't deserve what they had gave me ! Can anyone suggest me what to do ??? Is there any way to review my problems & why they had gave me such a mark??? Is ther anyone know the secret of this exam, I can tell you that my second chance was not also not successful & I really don't know why?? I'm very much disappointed.......... Thanks...

Hi to all......... I wan to take your advice & experience with the ETS system! I had taken a score of "410" at the verbal section & I was shocked to see this score because the questions were somewhat easy except the "RC", all the idioms were so clear to me to the extent that I'm sure that I have made better than this in the exam!!!! So, I contacted the ETS but unfortunatelly they were of a little help? Reviwing exam's answers is not available in all parts of the world ! & even there is no possibility to change it........ So, anybody have any suggestion to share in this regard? because till now I'm living in a nightmare ! Does the exam software never err?????? I doubt it ................
