Pearson Canceled my Appoitment! [#permalink] New post   08 Aug 2011, 20:14
Has anyone ever had their appointment canceled by the GMAT customer service? I got something in my email called an "incident report" and it explains that the test center is now unavailable for any GMAT appointment- they've given me the option to reschedule anytime in the next year. I'm actually kind of bummed out. All this build up now I have to wait more

I'm just curious to know if this have ever happened to any other test taker.

Wow never heard of this happening. Are there other centers close to where you are? Maybe they're renovating the place?

ur not alone :) happened to me last year when i was taking my second attempt. let me know if u have any doubts on this... i can help you out...

If u are yet to reschedule your exam...

GMAC is otherwise helpful yet rigid about their processes.. u will need to select a center and date of your choice from the slots available on the net... (they wont accomodate you for the date and time u need if its not there on the site) but they'll wait for another week if required to see if a slot opens up in the center of your choice during the mentioned date period.

but if you have already then good luck!!

I've heard of scores being cancelled four months after taking the GMAT. The scores were cancelled because there was some discrepancy in the way in which the test was administered. Therefore, I do believe that you're fortunate! Imagine being told that your scores are not valid after 3-4 months after taking the exam...

I called Pearson this morning. Apparently it was some kind of problem with the test center, totally unrelated to Pearson. They allowed me to reschedule at another nearby site for the 27th of this month.

What a pain in the butt! But at least it's all taken care of now.

Glad to hear that :)

All the best! You might want to scout the place in advance to get an overall feel of the place. It will help relieve some anxiety on the test day. It's better to take the test in a familiar setup rather than arriving at a strange destination on the day of the exam!

Good luck :beer
