Just got sent home from the test center...

I was scheduled to take the test today at 8am in Waltham, MA. I got there at 7:15 and stood around outside the door with others until 7:30. Then, we were let into the waiting room and told that they were having computer issues and couldn't get anything running.

So...we wait, and wait. 8:30 rolls around and they tell us that at this point we are free to leave and will receive a free reschedule. Some people leave right away, but me and three others decide to wait a bit more. I just wanted to take it! Finally at 9:30 they tell us they have cancelled the 8am exam.

Now I have to reschedule and I can't even call Pearson until Monday since they are only open M-F. I wanted this whole thing to be over today and now the saga continues...

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
You will have more time to study.
I just bombed GMAT some days ago even after 1 month rechedule.
Now I feel I am a retard.
Good luck!
