official practice test scoring?

I just took a practice test off the official gmat website, but when I got to the end of it it just showed me the number wrong for each section, not a score. And then of course I hit "okay" and it erased everything. If I take another one, how do I get the actual score?

Were you taking GMATFocus? I don't believe GMATPrep is taken off of the website - that's a download or on CD, I think. (Though I haven't checked lately - maybe they changed things.)

GMATFocus does not give a specific score; it offers score ranges. If you took GMATPrep off of the website, I'm not sure how they might have changed things, since I've only ever taken it from a download of the software. I do remember students complaining that, when you take the test from the download, you aren't able to go back to the score screen, so if you don't take a screenshot of it, you have to remember or write everything down before moving on. So if they've moved GMATPrep to a website delivery, it would probably be the same deal, which means that they may have shown you a score but you didn't notice, and then you moved on and you wouldn't be able to get back to it.

Can you clarify which test you took?
