Hey-
as long as GMAC makes things right - you just got a glimpse of what to expect on the Quantitative section. Use it to your advantage!

Oppsss... that sucks dude, but anyway as you said life is b*t**. I guess GMAC will give you second chance to appear in test at no cost.

Though, one part of doing MBA is to handle eventuality, this is the kind of experience I wouldn’t wish anyone to have. I hope you can take situation positively as a learning experience to handle unexpected and unwanted situations. I am sure you will prevail.

Definitely stressful on the top of all the pressure! If you don't mind, I am sure many would like to know the location... although it may happen anywhere :cry:

cheer up and laugh about it... this is not the reason to get depressed... it would be much worse if the error occured by the end of the test when the computer was trying to calculate your deserved score!!!

Look on the bright side, it may be the silver lining in the cloud.

At least the next time you take the test you be ..
- Less nervous, because after what you've been through, what more could go wrong
- More determined, because you're in the frame of mind to prove something to the GMAC.

That sucks but...

Honestly... how would you have done if the test had resumed after all that stress? I think I would have been too razzled / stressed out to do well. Maybe a blessing in disguise.

I would push GMAC to let you retake ASAP. They have a 30 day policy, even if the test crashes and its their fault, but push them hard on this. Be nice, DO NOT YELL OR GET ANGRY. It NEVER works.

Explain what happened, ask for an exception. Cite extenuating circumstances coming up. Stay calm but be firm.

yea man, you should assert your right. More than your money its the efforts that you've put in which is more important. Let them not take you easy on this.

Well, they finally contacted me. And guess what? The only reparations they were willing to make was to give me a free retake. Thats it! No refund of my original money, no reimbursement for my lost wages, nothing. Zip. Zilch.

I read through the GMAT handbook, and sure enough, its there in English. They do, however, waive the 31-day retake policy (how kind of them).

it's really pity... but as far as I heard they have a new test every calendar month. Why 31 days?
