As the title says, my GMTA online score (760: Q50 V44) on 15th March was under review & I was told it was quite a routine thing for people getting a good score in the online mode.
And just now, GMAC has cancelled it. I have my application deadline on 11th April & don't have time to prepare for the test.
I didn't do anything before confirming with the proctor & complied with everything that was being told to me. I had a couple of disruptions for which I couldn't do much.
1. My laptop has a janky touchpad and keyboard, so I had confirmed with the proctor if I could use an external keyboard & mouse. Despite that, when she told me not to use the mouse, I complied & somehow made do with the touchpad.
2. Further, in IR, after the first question, my test got closed for some reason confirming yes to move to the next question. I didn't know what had happened & immediately informed the proctor.
3. I had a close family member critical in the hospital, so I was tense the entire day. I don't know if that did something I cannot do about this.
There are two possible ways I can see this go:
1. I appeal my current score with GMAC & wait for their decision. In this too I haven't been told what they are sceptical about my test attempt & by when they would respond to the repeal.
2. I would need to travel 5 hrs from my institute to the nearest test centre & then give my attempt with virtually 0 prep time since I am too occupied with my applications & academia
3. I can appeal & give the test centre attempt meanwhile.
But I am in utter chaos about what to do next and would appreciate some advice.
Thanks
P.S. (Personal Rant Please Ignore) After spending more than a year preparing for this exam with 2 not so great previous attempts and completely ruining my social life, all my efforts seem to go for nothing. If this is how GMAT is for everybody I fear suggesting anyone go for it & go for GRE instead.

If you can score a 760 only a couple of weeks ago, why would you need to study again to repeat it?
Studying for the GMAT, as you alluded to is a MARATHON, not a sprint. You should still have the things in your mind that you did even 2 months ago if you studied to learn. This isn't a test that you can just memorize for. I am very confused. Did this happen more than a year ago?
Is GMAC charging you for the repeat?

Hi TheFatBandit.
What a total drag.
At the same time, I think your move is to do some review and then go take the GMAT in a test center. If it's important to you to apply this round, then you need your score, and hopefully, you'll be able to use the same skills you used to score 760 to score high again.
Meanwhile, you can appeal the cancellation.
