Hi,
My computer had a glitch towards the end of the exam, I ended up clicking "next" button multiple times and skipped over the score pg!!! All I know is that I got 8 incorrect in math & 8 incorrect in verbal... Does anyone know how to retrieve my score pg, or how I can estimate my score based on the info I have?
I know that the level of questions, rather than the number of incorrect questions, determine your score... But if it helps to see what part of each section my incorrect questions were, here are the incorrect questions:
QUANT: #4, 5, 18, 19, 24, 26, 29, 33
VERBAL: #11, 13, 14, 17, 31, 37, 38, 41
My exam's in less than a week... Knowing this score would be so helpful... Please help!!!
Thanks!

Re: Accidentally skipped score pg on GMAT PREP practice test...
hi --
as far as i know, unfortunately, there is no way to retrieve your score page once you've passed it.
also, the question numbers aren't really going to mean anything out of context. remember that gmat prep, like the real gmat exam, is adaptive, and so the questions are shuttled around in various orders. it's quite possible that your question number 4 could be somebody else's question number 28, and so on.
to a certain extent, however, you can actually see this omission as a blessing of sorts, because, in your current situation, the score isn't a terribly useful tool.
remember that the primary value of the practice test is not the score that you get. instead, the primary value of the task lies in REVIEW. in fact, at the end of the day, the only real value in getting a score on a practice test lies in evaluating your trajectory thus far and/or judging whether you are ready to sign up for the official exam.
since you've already signed up for the official exam, it appears that you've actually finished the process of evaluating your trajectory, and have already decided that you are ready for the exam. if that's the case, then your overall gmatprep score is actually pretty much irrelevant at this point -- you are where you are, you're ready to take the test, and the sole value of this practice test lies in giving you material to REVIEW.
in fact, there may even be a certain benefit in your not having seen the score, as any type of score soon before the exam (whether good or bad) can sometimes cause undue amounts of stress on test day. i.e., a bad test score can cause stress for obvious reasons, but a good prep score can cause but equal amount of stress, brought on by the weight on your shoulders of expectations.
so, the short version is: relax, don't worry about the score, review the problems thoroughly, and -- good luck on the official test!
