Hello, I have just completed Barons practice test on the software, the total number of questions in reading was 65, i got 39 corrected and 26 were incorrect, and it showed me 30/30 score. Kindly tell me how these scores are calculated if you got 5 passages in total. Many Thanks

I am rather disappointed, even though I shouldn't be considering what happened while I took the test. While I was taking it, my computer froze or something like that and when I clicked on the Continue button, no questions appeared on the first part (out of 3) from the Reading Section. So I wasn't able to answer them. I have no idea how many they were, but I freaked out and I was nervous throughout the whole test, and it screwed up my score on the Reading even more, as my mind was half thinking on the answers and half thinking about my score which was bound to be low. I also screwed up the Speaking Section, but I was already expecting that. My pronunciation is good. As long as I'm alone :P So it's no surprise I only got 23. My scores: Reading: 15 (I'm pretty pissed about this) Listening: 26 (I was pleasantly surprised about this one) Speaking: 23 (Not that I didn't expect it) Writing: 27 (This made me happy, although I was expecting a good score on this one) Total: 91 I contacted ETS, they emailed me telling me to wait for my problem to be solved. And I'm still waiting. It's been 3 weeks... Well, at least I didn't need a very high score anyway, I only needed 79, as I'm 15 and I want to apply to Exeter's Summer Program. Well, if I retake the test, I'll actually prepare this time, I only took a few practice tests. Was my score decent considering my problem with the test? I still think I should've gotten a higher score :(
