CollegeBoard rescinding test score

[faststudi88]

Hello, this is my first post to the forum. I recently took the English Lit CLEP at my local testing center. During the test (about 45 minutes in) somebody pulled the fire alarm. Luckily, there was no fire, but I still lost 20 minutes during this time.  I decided that I was not going to go ahead and try to pass the exam, but wait and pay for another voucher. When I got home, I tried to pay for an exam, but I couldn't because the website said my initial exam was not completed.  While I was doing this, the proctor at the testing center called and said that they had somehow paused the exam. I then went back to the testing center and completed the exam. I passed w/ a 68, and was called the next day by the CollegeBoard since the testing center had filed an incident report. On this call they told me that I could keep my score. Today I got another call from the CollegeBoard, and they are saying since they cannot account for the 1 hour I was gone (when I was home trying to buy another ticket), they are going to "cancel" my test score. They did advise me that I could take the test again in 3 months.  I am at a loss at this point and wondering if anybody else has gone through this, and if so what you did about it.
