Let us hear what the outcome is. I hope gmac gives refund of your test to the least, or allows exam reschedule without additional cost.

I dont really need a refund per se, but i should be given the option of rescheduling the exam at my disposal and not theirs.

Lets see what happens. But i could never imagine something of this sort ever coming my way.

Update : They cancelled my score. Pre formatted reply over email from them after 20 days (ughh), now I have appealed to them formally and have received an email stating the appeal is under review and will take them 30 days to reply back. Geez !!

I sure hope you get a refund. Now, I'm not too familiar with the online GMAT, but does it not state anywhere that when you check in, you'll immediately be under exam conditions?

Yes, it clearly mentions in the guidelines that once the check-in process starts the candidate is under the test like scrutiny .

What happened in your online exam? Did you provide a description somewhere?

The OP of this thread is a different person, it appears.

GMAC has discretion to ask you to go to test center if you are unable to properly manage the online exam.

What happened ?

Even before beginning the exam, i asked the proctor to remove the lan cable linked to my console. The router is in the workstation. She said yes. The moment i came back , she was all whiny and she just revoked me. Its her part time job , welll you can interpret further :P

Oh and GMAC said, it takes 30 seconds to remove the cable you took 45 seconds, so no refund or rechedule for you. This will be counted as an attempt and future prohibition will continue lol.

Can't you appeal the decision?

The mistake here may be that there was likely some amount of miscommunication between the proctor and yourself. The proctor may have assumed that you will return in less than 30 seconds, whereas you assumed that you could take a longer amount of time until you fixed the cable or whatever it was. You could have returned earlier and checked with the proctor. If your face disappears from camera view for longish time, the proctor will naturally feel aggrieved.

It is not in good taste to demean the proctor in such a manner ("her part-time job , welll you can interpret further", "she was all whiny").

This was the decision of appellate authority. The decision of the same is final and binding.
