530 - Q30 V32. In practice tests, I had been receiving 40-41-42 on Q and 30-32 on V. I was happy on V and terribly dissapointed in Q. My last 3 GMAC download tests were 600, 600, & 600. I was hoping for 580+

Now here is my problem....they didn't have the right pens and made me use what I consider a broad tip dry erase marker! What is THE OFFICIAL PEN? I told them they had the wrong pen and they told me 'that's all we have...I can't do anything about it?

Should I file a formal complaint? I feel as though it actually affected my score on math since my writing was VERY large due to the marker. I would fill one entire page on one simple problem and I went thru 3 tablets for math alone.

The first 15 on math killed me....I knew I missed 3 out of the first 10, but I must have missed more than that??????

Please help...I am taking the test again in mid-april. My goal is to get into U of Houston's part time MBA, for which I need an +/-600 with my low GPA, which is 2.8 from LSU (Engineering Degree).

I think, you should file a formal complaint.

I am aiming to get into U of H Part time MBA program too.. dont you think 530 would be worth a shot ?? if you have good work exp, nice recos, excellent essay... I still think you have a decent chance.

Please keep us updated..and good luck bud.
