My official GMAT scores are showing a Q6/0% that I believe to be an error. I have seen posts for the official practice exams glitching but have not heard of anyone seeing the bug on official test day......
Some background:
- I began studying in July after deciding my next career move is an MBA.
- I took a baseline (no prep, no review) official practice test 1 and got a 570 V34 Q34. I was pretty pleased after not using math at work at all or since freshman year of college (2012). I studied ~5 hours a week.
- I was laid off in September and have studied every day for 2-8 hours a day and was scoring about 65-80% of quant questions correct (depending on the day and the topic etc).
- I took the 2nd of the 2 free official practice exams end of October and scored a 630 Q39 V38
- I studied 8-12 hours a day for the next 2 weeks consistently hitting 75% or above on quant
- I took the official test Nov 9th and received my scores Nov 11th - 350 (did not know that was humanly possible as all charts I have seen start in the 400s) with Quant score 6 at 0%. Look, I know my quant score is no where near as high as I would like but this has got to be an error....right?
I called the GMAT customer service number and was immediately FWd to Pearson. After explaining the situation, Pearson left me on hold for 30 mins and came back to say that this is a matter for GMAT not them. I called GMAT's US number and they immediately told me to call Pearson. I let the operator know that I had just heard the opposite from Pearson and asked him what else could be done. After some pushing he admitted that: A) I did not get every question incorrect as this score would imply and that B) He has seen this a few times before in qualified test takers!!! Yet their policy remains the same; no retesting.
I completely understand that as a testing company used by some of the most competitive, type A, eager, and intelligent people in the world they have to set boundaries with frustrated test takers. If this score had been extremely low (in the 20s) I would chalk it up to my own mistakes, test day nervousness, etc. But the 0% is actually impossible with the level I have prepared and what I was scoring at on official questions.
It goes without saying that I'll be retaking the exam but as an unemployed person the additional $250 is out of my budget. Has anyone experienced or heard of something similar? Am I missing something? Any recommendations with how to proceed?
Thank you all in advance for reading through this mess and for any advice you may have!!!

I faced a similar issue with verbal score recently. Although at the end I blamed myself and moved on to save the trouble with customer care. I think all you should be thinking about now is a retake.

Very odd!!! Sorry about the score. If you are interested to get to the bottom of it, ESR is probably the only and fastest option. ESR will show you the number of right/wrong questions.
Occasionally I take official tests and if I need to blow through a section, I just guess and they often get the score of six when guessing. I usually get about 6 to 7 questions right. You get the minimum score even if you get a number of them right.
