Hey Nishant,

Whom did you email to appeal for re test. I am fine with my score to be canceled but Pearson declined my request and said they are unable to offer a free test

Until either nishantd88 or ENEM gets back to you:

1. You can request Pearson to escalate your case or provide you with contact information for an escalation.
2. What happened during your exam?

Test froze couple of times. Once, it got shutdown and took some 10 minutes to come back up. Even though they added time, test admin wasted 1.5 minutes in entering authorization code. I was stressed out and it impacted such a way that esr shows 74% of the answers are incorrect in the quarter this happened.

Pearson vue declined my request for free retest saying that they added the time and some stats which did not make any sense

I'm worried whether or not they will rule in my favor

Ouch. While what you are saying makes sense, I have seen Pearson absolutely refuse to budge once they say that "exam time was not lost". They seem not to understand that taking a test requires you to maintain your concentration levels, and that interruptions can have a major impact on performance. Or maybe they understand it, but don't acknowledge it.

You are doing the right thing though. Press them on this as much as you can, but be prepared for a negative response from their side.
