Technical problems during the test

by visa1416 » Sat Mar 21, 2009 10:49 am
I attempted to take my GMAT on 23rd Feb. But unfortunately I couldnot complete the test due to technical problems .

I was doing really well on the test. At the time of disruption, I was on the 17th question of the quant section and had 45 odd minutes left.I did well on both the essays.

All of a sudden my PC screen went blank. I was told that there was a "technical problem". Thereafter, I was told that they were not able to connect to the Pearson Vue server.They were unable to resolve the issue after trying hard for around 1.5 hours.They then requested me to re-schedule the test (in consultation with GMAC) to a later date.

After few calls and emails to GMAC, they re-scheduled the test to my preferred date and time at no extra cost.
