Exam Nightmare

Hi everyone,
So yesterday I took the June exam. I was pretty prepared, had visited the classroom a week before, felt focused and ready. We checked in, entered the room and sat where we were assigned. And then...the construction started. Not just a few taps from a hammer, I'm talking full-on, constant, heavy machinery construction. Right on the walls of our classroom. So loud that we couldn't hear the proctor. Of course, students protested very strongly (I thought there was going to be a riot) but our proctors told us it was too late to withdraw, that LSAC would not refund or reschedule. The university wouldn't let us move classrooms, even though they made the mistake and scheduled the construction at the same time of the exam. So we took the first three sections with the construction. I tried very hard to not let this shake my concentration, but it was impossible to think!
I've decided not to cancel my scores, because I will be out of the country in October and won't be able to retake. I'm planning on lodging a complaint to LSAC, even though I know they won't do anything for us. Just thought I would vent a little here and see what people think...!

Actually our proctors totally messed up too and called time when there were like 3-4 minutes left on that section. We were like THAT WAS NOT FIVE MINUTES. Everyone freaked out, haha. Actually even that slight thing threw me off, especially since I was already running short on time on that section. So that was absolutely ridiculous.
Here it was pretty laid back. One person forgot her photo on her admission ticket and was still able to take the test.
