Hi Sid, Wow, I really admire your persistence with the GMAT! 7 going on 8 times is a lot of work so kudos to you for sticking with it! So good news about cancelled scores - they no longer show up anywhere on your score report ( http://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-scores/cancelling-scores/...
