I gave my GMAT test today ..
In my any of the moc tests I never got less than 600
gmat prep 1-630
gmat prep2 -640 .

Today a network failure occured in between the test ,my test got hunged,
after 20 mins admin guys came and sorted it out but when it resumed ,it took be back 2 questions and and 4 mins less . I am really shocked with what happend to me today . Never expected this low.
Finally I ended up with as low as 490 .

I fail to understand,how could this happen? I have been ask to speak
to Pearson center or they will get back to me in couple of days ..

This was a major set back.

Any suggestions what could be next step ?

That is really terrible. Maybe one of the worst test taking experiences I've ever heard. The good news is that 1) you may get to re take because of unfair test conditions 2) The next time you write it, your score will be way better and you can explain away your first score in your MBA applications.

I feel for you, but I think things will work out for the best in the long run.

Good luck!

It is terrible what happened to you, but you should write to GMAC ad tell your story, for sure you will be able to do your exam again without charge. Try, if possible, to do the exam in a different test center.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
