Issue with GMAT exam

Thank you AjiteshArun and DarkHorse2019. Actually, I didn't mean to say that the score is bad, it's just not up to the mark. Yes, I am from one of the most over represented groups and am aiming for a top college (Indian - IT Male Engineer). I was scoring quite high in the GMATPrep mocks and so was expecting at least a 740. Anyways, I will not rant about it.

Thanks for the suggestions though, I will call them up. One further question - if there is an issue, what are the mitigating steps they take? Do they allow the candidate to take the GMAT again? A new score at this time will be problematic as I will miss the R2 deadlines which I am targeting for.

The biggest problem is getting them to accept that there was a problem

But yes, they'll offer you a retake. They won't cancel your earlier score. If by any chance they say that a retake would mean a cancellation of your 720, just decline the offer and go ahead with your applications. If you didn't cancel the earlier attempt your 8 will anyway be visible to any school that's interested in your IR score.

All the best, and let us know what Pearson says about what happened during your exam.

Wow, that is very odd. Let us know what Pearson says once you contact them.

So, I phoned Pearson Vue, they have opened a case and agreed to get back within 3-5 business days, I will post an update once they respond.

I got an update from Pearson on Jan-15:
