Interruptions During the DAT

I took my DATS and the AC was not working. In addition, there was a fire alarm that went off for 20 minutes during the test. Is there anyway that the testing center can attach a note to my scores that are sent to aadsas, so the dental schools will make note of this? In hindsight, would the center have been able to extend my time on the test?

Your time would not have been extended... They should have done their "emergency protocol..." I had an hour blackout during my exam. I asked them what would happen and they said they just send a note saying there was a blackout, but your scores would remain the way they are. I don't think the dental schools will make a big deal about this. I'm sure there are more important things they would rather look at.
