Hi everyone,

I took my AWS SAA-C03 exam yesterday at a physical test center. Everything went smoothly, but I completely mismanaged my time. I spent way too much time on the first 18 questions. When I saw the clock ticking down, I panicked and rushed through the remaining questions very quickly just to finish in time.

16 hours later, I received a "Data Forensics" email from AWS stating that they detected statistical anomalies, invalidated my score, and restricted me to in-person test centers only (which I already used). My pacing was purely a result of time panic.

Questions for the community:

• Has anyone successfully appealed an invalidation from AWS ?
• If the appeal is rejected, how long does AWS usually take to let you reschedule the exam at a physical center?

Thanks for your help and insights.
