............ so..................

First essay...... went well based on the templates on this forum........
Second essay...... went well.........
Break....... Ok, no big deal........
Quant section....... some problems were literally...... wtf....... some were..... ok...... ended up running out of time and #36 / 37 went unanswered...... whatever-- such is life, onto Verbal..... can't change the past now...
Break....... go into my locker, look at my phone.... and the guy says, "We can't let you finish the exam, because you accessed your cellphone.......we have to call the GMAT coordinator....."
GMAT coordinator wasn't available, so they decided to not let me finish........

From past testing center experiences (CPA exam which consist of four separate exams and testing center visits)..... they're usually OK with cellphones during breaks since -- lets face it, you can't cheat on an exam if you don't know what's coming up....... but, rules are rules -- i guess...

The question that I'm asking is, what happens next? Do I lose my GMAT fee? I know I have to call GMAT on Monday and see what will happen from here but wondering if anyone has a similar horror story...... and what happened / will happen? Will my score report show an attempt and no score? I'm guessing it was never reported to the five schools I chose at the beginning since the program didn't fully run through and didn't execute the command to send to the schools.....

Thoughts? Comments?

I know it just ....... blah.... what can ya do...... :-\

Thanks for sharing this bit of information! Without reading this, I probably will text or check my email during the break as part of my habit.

for what's its worth...... my friends who have taken the gmats mentioned they had no problems checking their cellphones and texting / calling during a break. They couldn't believe my story when i told them..... i think the guy at the testing center had a blunt object in his........ (edited for language)..... :-P

the more i think about it, the better it may be for me.....

Oh actually they are quite strict with it.

I took my gmat in India and we were asked to switch off our cellphones as long as we are in the premises.
I was allowed inside only after switching it off.
and in the breaks they do monitor to see what u do. when u open ur lockers.
