Ok, it's time to vent a little here. I was scheduled to take the DAT on Tuesday morning. Well, monday night I get a call from Prometric saying the testing site is having 'issues' and that my DAT needed to be rescheduled. SO, I rescheduled for Wednesday afternoon and arranged my schedule accordingly. Low and behold, last night around 9PM I get a call from Prometric saying the site is still down and that they have to reschedule AGAIN! 😡 Well, it's rescheduled for tomorrow at noon and hopefully they won't cancel again. It's been extremely exhausting doing my last day reviewing 3 times now! Hopefully it won't throw off my scores...

Maybe you can ask them for compensatory damages. I don't know.

10% discount on testing fees? LOL

I'll take a 10% increase in score!

By the way, it seems that despite it is unnerving to have the test-date altered, you seem to be in control, and have a sense of humor.

I won't wish you any luck on this exam, because you don't need it. You will do fine!

When I took my exam, I got a call 50 minutes before the exam that the power had gone out at the center and I would have to reschedule. I had to wait 1.5 weeks because that was their earliest opening. Crap like that happens, and it certainly sucks, but I think it was divine intervention I may have not be as ready as I thought I was. We'll never know, though. SPOOKY!

Speaking of divine intervention, I had some this morning. I'm bad about getting up early, and I'm often late for my morning class. This morning I had a poster presentation to do, and the prof said if I was late, I'd get a stiff penalty. So I HAD to get up on time if only one day this semester. So my alarm went off, and I rolled over to hit snooze. When I rolled back over to get a few more mins of sleep, I noticed there was a HUGE ROACH on the next pillow staring me right in the nose!!! Needless to say I leaped from the sheets and on my feet. I was up, and made it to class early, thank God. See, He works in any way possible.

I like your story.

Funny Story Iceman.
Well, the saga continued. I arrived at the testing site at 11:30 (promptly 30minutes before my testing time) and gave the proctors my IDs. In a few minutes the proctor came back out and said that she didn't have me on the roster and asked if I had a confirmation number. 20 minutes later, a 2nd proctor came out and explained that I wasn't on the roster. 10 minutes later, yet another proctor came back out and (you guessed it) said that I wasn't on their roster. So they end up calling their tech support center and after being on hold for 20 minutes, figure out the issue. Apparently since my appointment was rescheduled on Tuesday, it hadn't filtered into the local system. Well, they finally got it right, and I was testing almost a full hour and 15 minutes after my test was supposed to start! It was all that I could do to remain call after all that has happened this week, but thankfully I did and I think it served me better once I actually sat for the test. Anyway, I ended up improving my scores significantly. 20/19/19 with no score below 19 up from 19/18/17. Thankfully it's over...
