Odd that they can produce the score, 650, but can't print it. I think you have a legitimate gripe and should take appropriate steps.

I've spoken with almost everyone now, including the senior manager for Pearson Vue. Somehow, the score is "simply lost in transmission" and is no longer recoverable. They advised me that if they would have caught it within 7 days it may have been recoverable.... but no longer is.

Lucky for me they're going to pay for me to take it again.... great.... exactly what I needed. :roll:

Completely unprofessional! and now it may cost me a full year of time!

Having unreportable scores and not giving a printout of your unconfirmed score? If possible, I highly recommend that you request to take the test at a different center next time!

I would imagine that the adcoms at your target schools might go easy on you in terms of the submission deadline if you were to relay your experience to them.

Best of luck.

I just found out today that the company who provides the test centre in Calgary quit. They will no longer be administering the GMAT, and now I have to drive 3+ hours to take it in another city....

That's rough. Hopefully it's a blessing in disguise.

Yet another reason for schools to allow both GRE and GMAT scores. Hooray Stanford!

Absolutely absurd. All that stress and waiting...ugh! Look, maybe the next time you take it, you will feel even more prepared and score even higher. I'm trying to look for a bright spot here. Also, are you certain about the GMAT deadlines for your schools? As I recall, most of the ones I applied to accepted GMAT scores well AFTER the actual application deadline, at least by a couple of weeks. Check that out.
