Hi, I had my GMAT last week at the test centre. I was really mentally and physically prepared for it. In fact, my first 6 questions were super easy and I was not even nervous at all - not even a bit. But then the screen froze for nearly 20-25 mins, and time had already elapsed. The test administrator was being sorry and requested us to reschedule the exam at a later date. He assured us that Pearson would do it free of cost.
I feel so bad about this unfortunate experience because I had literally travelled 750 kms from my town for this exam and I had to get it done and move on to other parts of the application this month.
I do not how to explain it because not many people get it but I have been feeling like a loser since then and somehow has affected my self-esteem and confidence. Likewise, I am unable to pick myself up from here and kickstart my prep again. I do not know what should I change in my overall strategy for the uni application. Should I just email the unis and tell them it might be a little late with the application due to my unfortunate experience at the centre, or would that be a bad idea?
Please help me with any other suggestions. It will greatly assist me in soothing my anxiety and provide me with a path forward.
My rescheduled exam is on the 27th of December if that helps. Thank you so much

Hi thenerdycat
Experiences can affect our psychology in funny ways.
In this case, you've somehow latched on the experience you had at the test center as indicating something about you.
I'm not sure how well it would work to tell your target schools that your application will be delayed, but I think you should start preparing again no matter how you feel psychologically.
Starting to prepare again will likely make you feel better. It will get you back into reality, which the idea about being a "loser," whatever that even is, is not part of.
That idea is way off, and you know what's funny. Let's even say that the computer going nuts was a sign that you are a loser. Who cares? LOL. You can still go back and take the GMAT, achieve your score goal, go to school, and generally have great life.
In other words, whatever is going through your mind is just disconnected from anything that matters or exists in reality.
So, go do some streaks practice to get back into the game, and let us know when you go back and rock the GMAT.

May be worth keeping in mind the Online version of the GMAT just in case. You could also reach out to your schools to see if they might accept an Unofficial score temporarily. This may give you a bit of leeway.
