I wanted to share my GMAT experiences with this Gmat community.
I took my first GMAT test in mid-September. My scheduled exam time was at 8am. The night before the test day, I had an anxiety attach, and could not get to sleep for even one minute. I thought I was not going to perform well given my light-headedness. Still, I was saddened by my score of 680.
I decided that my failure on the first test was caused by lack of sleep the night before. I therefore immediately registered another test in the time period allowed by GMAC. Two weeks late, I had good sleep the previous night and I felt confident that I would perform well. However, at the end of my second test, what appeared in the screen was 650. I was so much shocked and upset that I immediately dialled the GMAC phone number and got into heated exchange with the GMAC client agent. I believed that there was definitely some problem with GMAT scoring software, or the GMAT scoring system. I asked for a review of my performance and I asked that GMAC point out which exact questions were right or wrong. In a word, I wanted to have a detailed look at the way I answered all the questions and know how I could get such a low score.
A few weeks late, GMAC contacted me and told me that there was no problem in their software scoring system, and it was impossible to let me have a look at the real questions I answered in the test.
I guessed there was nothing I could do. GMAC certainly was more powerful than any test-taker, and if they say no, there is nothing any test-taker can do short of stopping take the test.
Anyway, I took my third GMAT after I realized there was really nothing I could do. I scored 740 this time, and honestly I do not see I have had any great improvement since my first two tests. All I wanted to say is that GOD knows what happened. And I really don't want to figure it out any longer.

Well done! Seems like your persistence paid off.
