This is my second time appearing for GMAT. Last time i got more than 650 on the GMAT prep, but some how got only 500 on the actual GMAT. Yesterday, i took the new GMAT prep test, i got 640. The interesting thing is i got 13 incorrect in math and 17 incorrect in verbal but i still got 45 in math and 34 in verbal. Is the score in GMAT prep always calculated properly or is it possible that the software has a bug. The other day i took some other test, in which i only got 6 incorrect still i only got 43 in math. Some one please help- is 640 a real indicator for my score.. ?
