Hey everyone,
I am hoping to get some insight if this has happened to anyone else.
On Friday I went to take the GMAT at the testing center and after getting through IR, the screen went blank and remained frozen for over 30 minutes. As part of Pearsons testing rules, they are required to offer a retake if this happens, and I decided to take the offer. The exam was then ended and I received an incident number. I was told to call GMAT and schedule my new retake. I called the 1800 number and after waiting for over an hour to speak to a representative
I was told I need to wait 3-5 business days for the case to be "reviewed."
I am very very frustrated and do not seem to find another way out of this situation - which is why I am asking for any sort of advice/help.
If anyone has a contact number please help!

Hi dre1091,
I'm sorry to hear about the situation you faced on Test Day. While most Test Takers complete their Exams without incident, technical issues do sometimes happen. It sounds like the Testing Facility was quick to acknowledge the issue though and that you'll be able to retest for free at some point. Unfortunately, the nature of the 'investigation process' can sometimes take upwards of 4 weeks, so you might have to wait a little while longer. Part of this is procedural - to make sure that you actually deserve to retest for free (which it certainly sounds like you do). Part of it is practical though - you have to wait long enough to make sure that you don't see any of the same questions (and given the current 16-day wait period between Exams, it's likely that THAT will be your 'waiting period' as well).
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
