I highly doubt it.
Besides, what would you do with that information?
It's important to note that your scores are not based on how many questions you answer correctly; they're based on the level of difficulty of the questions you answer correctly. To illustrate this, I'll share an experiment I performed.
When writing the article Taking the GMATPrep Practice Tests Multiple Times (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/03/ ... iple-times), I took GMATPrep Practice Test #1 four times, and each time I answered every second question correctly (I did this for the quant section only)
Given that I correctly answered EXACTLY HALF of the questions each time, you'd expect my quant scores to be roughly the same for all 4 tests. Not the case.
My 4 scaled scores were: 19, 23, 26 and 42
This represents a percentile range from approximately 8th percentile to the 63rd percentile.
So, don't worry about how many questions you answered correctly. It has nothing to do with your score.
Aside: If you're interested, we have a free video explaining the GMAT scoring algorithm: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gener ... es?id=1251

Brent is exactly right.
GMAC does not give out that sort of information. They guard their questions very closely and do not want anyone to know even the number of questions missed.
Furthermore, you would need to know the difficulty of the questions you missed in order for this to really help you.
Of course I sympathize - I would love to know exactly how many Quant questions I missed the last time I took the exam! But you must treat the official GMAT exam differently from a practice exam. You will not get the level of feedback (from the official exam) that you want.

Hi gmatmania84,
The information that you DO receive on an Official Score report can be quite telling. If you're looking for insights into those numbers, then feel free to contact me directly.
