No I didn’t
I would recommend that you get that. While the last 7 questions may have had some effect, if you’re sure 3-4 of them were correct , then my best guess is the some questions in the earlier quarters might have pulled the score down.

Yea
Surprisingly the candidate got 8 questions incorrect and got a V40. That’s what first sections can do

Consider the $30 as a cheat sheet for your next exam.

If I remember correctly, the prices were hiked for both online and the incenter exam. Online I guess is $300. Higher price crap experience !

The magnitude of the penalty depends on the type of question you get wrong. Not so much for a tough question but a lot more for an easy question.

If the Gmac feels that you are not upto a high level after a few easy mistakes, it will not even throw at you any more difficult questions. And then you will feel the test to be ’easy’. That is not a good sign. You should always feel challenged in an adaptive test - that shows that you are performing at your level of ’inability’
