I just Beat The GMAT!

Hi,
I took my GMAT exam today at test center location,
GATS, office #1,Symphony 'C',Ashok nagar,Range hill road,Off pune university road,Pune-411020,India.
The test was going smooth except for the fact that AC was not on in the center for whatsoever reason.But when i was at my 13 question on verbal section,to my horror the power cut off and system was shut and no action was taken for 1 and half hour,which was really tiring and frustrating to focus on exam anymore.This really hamper my performance at verbal section and i could not concentrate any more on the exam and this fear of power cut was still at back of my mind.The exam resumed after 1 and half hour.I was dead stressed and tired by then.Anyways i resumed exam again and finally submitted my score and i saw 660 , which was far less than any score i have ever got on any of my practice test including GMAC official test.I was so sure that i would definitely score 720 but i believe this whole incidence of power cut took me off the road and ruined my day and score in verbal because i still scored 50 in quants as per my expectation.I would like to please address my issue and consider my appeal to take the exam again soon.My candidate id is 100001002429.Also, you can reach me +91 8007774885 or [email protected] for any further question.I will such technical problems should not decide my fate at GMAT.

Hi, Sad to know about this. I've heard a lot of negative reviews of the Pune test centre. I suggest that you travel to Andheri east centre in Mumbai and retake your exam.

I think GMAC will permit you a retake without any cost if you submit this complain to them. Just write a note.

Him i have already wrote mail to GMAC and MBA.COM and pearson, you have any clue how soon can i expect a reply and how soon i take next attempt.I want to take it as soon as possible as i feel i am pretty prepared for the exam right now.Also, can you tell me email address of any other way to contact GMAT coordinator..

I don't think u'll be allowed to take before 11th Sept . No need to contact anyone else, you 'll get a reply soon.

thanx for reply dude!!

so did they cancel your initial score?

you need to explain your case to the test center admin and ask them to submit complaint for you as the Test Center of PVue. Then it will be effective. Otherwise, they will count this score too.

Sorry to hear that, Kaps. I took the test at the Pune center yesterday and all went well.

Three others who were taking the test at around the same time told me that their tests had also been interrupted by unforeseen technical issues, power cuts, or computer freezes. I think that the Pune center needs a tremendous overhaul, and am going to write to the company as well as to the newspapers.

Wish you luck the second time around. I suggest taking it in Mumbai. More professional there.
