Hello,
I am very, very worried about my test experience yesterday with the GMAT. I went into the test centre, everything seeming alright and ready to go. I started my test and everything went smooth for the first 30 mins. After this there were loud noises and people talking and yelling outside the room where I was taking the test, which distracted me somewhat but I managed to pull through. During the quant section the noise was bearable until a constructor came into the test centre and started inspecting the test centre because of some new construction plans.
After this, when I was in the verbal section the noise level was unbearable, I could barely concentrate, it felt like it was someones birthday downstairs because of all the yelling and chatting. I felt like i was taking a 300$ test in the middle of a public market on a busy sunday! It got to the point where I had to raise my hand and wait for the instructor to come into the room so I could tell him to please quiet down the people outside and downstairs of where I was taking the test. Wasting my test time! To top it off, 15 minutes before finishing my test the power went off, we waited and by the time it resumed the instructor said there was no more time to take the test (as I took it at 1pm) and thus was told to leave.
Yes, I had earplugs in but these where made from such bad material I could still listen to everything. And now, I am waiting for a test reschedule but I urgently need it for next week and I need HELP!!
Please could some one direct me or help me on how to proceed?
Thank you!
Andrea
