Where can I buy the Electronic software by the ETS with the real GMAT questions?

Are you referring to GMATPrep? That software is available for free at MBA.com

All the best,

Also, for me...I am not a morning person. I scheduled an afternoon sitting the second time, and the results were great for me.
Thank you for sharing your experience,

I'd scheduled my test on 26/May- but the problem is that the center do not offers afternoon sittings, and this is a big problem for me!
Since I'd quite my job recently, I'm going to flip the time; making my night time into day time! this is the only solution that I'd came up with.
My target score is 500, I wasn't sure if I'm able to make it, but reading your post had charged me up!
So thanks for your post
