GMAT Errors / Glitches?

I had the same issue. It was one of the RC questions (2nd to be precise). I called for assistance and he told me that he cant help me with this. I went to make an educated guess and proceeded forward with my exam. The weird this is my verbal score came out abnormally low (as compared to my practice tests). I am wondering if this glitch messed up something. I emailed the GMAC people and would be waiting a response from them. Man with R2 around the corner, this is a bummer.

Hello Guys and bb

Even I experienced the exact same situation when I gave my GMAT on 7th October 2017. One of the RC questions asked for the meaning of the highlighted text, but there wasn't any text highlighted in the RC. I notified the administrator and he said they will file a report on my behalf

I scored Q49 V36 - 700. Now my only worry is
- If I answered it right then probably it is already counted as a correct answer and my scoring is right
- But if I answered it incorrect and if GMAC re-scores, by any chance will my overall score reduce below 700? I'm just thinking out aloud. Hopefully it shouldn't reduce. Please help!

I have two questions
1. Can anyone help me with my above concern?
2. What do I do next and whom/how should I contact GMAC?

I had the same situation. I took the exam today and I want a retest. What do I do?

They make you fill the feedback form about the centre,in that you can fill up the details and also please ensure you mail to GMAC today itself. In that case only they will allow a retest if possible. Promptness helps

Yet another report of a glitchy GMAT RC question: https://gmatclub.com/forum/weird-glitch ... 51134.html

You can contact GMAC about this and you can start here: https://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/pr ... cerns.aspx - that's the best place for that process.

Unfortunately OfficialGMAT is asleep on the job - they have not been engaged on the site lately. It is a pity.

Hey Guys,

Below is the update on the above issue

- The administrator at my center reported the issue to GMAC
- GMAC replied back saying they are offering me a free retake as they think the error must have costed me some extra time or distracted me. They also said that the scoring was not affected by the error
- So I had two options.
A. Decline the free retake and accept my current score of 700
B. Accept the free retake and cancel my score of 700

I chose option A as i was happy with my current score

Moral of the Story : - In case you face any glitch / error like this. Straight away report it to admin or email GMAC later

I had the same error, or more specifically: two issues when testing 2 days ago.

The highlighted text issue referred to above, as well as being "timed out" with 90 seconds left. I was on question 40 when this happened. I filed a report immediately.

I scored a 94th percentile on the verbal, but this likely cost me a 96/97 due to those 3 missed questions, which is about 10 points on my test. It's disappointing for GMAC to only offer to cancel your current score and re-take: they should offer you a free re-take as a result. Nobody should get their score throw away due to a glitch; it should be remedied and a free test offered.
