Exam session ended by proctor without explanation

During the remote exam attempt, I've answered all the questions with around 20-30 minutes spare time.

While reviewing some of the answered questions, my exam session was ended by the proctor with no explanation whatsoever.

This is a very frustrating experience as I've spent months just to prepare for this exam. I wasn't able to re-enter the session with the provided access code, and there was no contact from Pearson VUE at all.

After contacting the Pearson OnVue support team, their response is generic at best. Although they did mentioned my case was raised ***Removed*** and being "looked into", I have still yet to receive any email confirming on the case creation / update on the issue.

Update: I have not heard from Pearson regarding this issue. However, 10 hours after my exam ended, I received an email from Microsoft congratulating me on passing the certification exam.

Hi Nic.L,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community. 

I appreciate your drive and perseverance in finding ways to complete one of our offered exams. Your transparency for sharing your exam experience in detail is highly appreciated, and I want to ensure that your time and effort spent preparing for it won't be in vain. I'm here to provide you with guidance for you to make the most of this opportunity.

Due to the situation, you experienced that your exam gets revoked, please know that it needs to be reported immediately to Pearson Vue for further investigation, as they have direct access to your exam appointment, and they can also provide recommendations and alternatives such as rescheduling for your exam. Kindly, select your region to ensure that you will reach the correct support group.  The support team typically respond within 3 to 5 business days. 

Meanwhile, since you already have an open ticket with Pearson Vue, I would also appreciate it if you could provide me with the necessary information through the private message to proceed in taking care of your concern.

Moreover, if you are trying to utilize a company (ESI) discount, kindly note that you need to contact the ESI Support Team through your work email. They will provide you with the appropriate instructions and guidance on how you can successfully schedule the exam using the same discount, as they are the ones who can collaborate with Pearson VUE to successfully schedule your exam. They typically respond within 3-5 business days. 

Should you need further assistance on our end after your interaction with the ESI support team, kindly provide me with the ESI Case ID number along with the necessary information through the private message I initiated, for me to follow up with them on your behalf.

Once received, rest assured that the information will be secure and well taken care of.
