CollegeBoard rescinding test score

[faststudi88]

Wow. That's some BS they're trying to pull. I would take the issue up to someone higher. They told you conflicting things. I would state your case and stand firm that if you can't keep the passing score(which is something they should make happen for you) then you should at least be able to take the test again sooner. Also, will the testing center refund the fees you spent there?

They said they would refund fees. CollegeBoard has not yet gotten back about testing sooner.

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.

This is frustrating. Did you try to personally talk or negotiate with them?

I did. When they first called I was very upset, but I called back and was given an email address.  It feels like I'm going in circles with them at the moment....
