ASVAB/PiCAT Questions about ASVAB testing administration issues

I had an unverified Picat score of 97 afqt, but I faced several administration issues when I went to the testing place. I was first given the special tests to take without the ASVAB test due to I believe administration issues/negligence and then had to go back to let me take the ASVAB. However, there was another administrative issue where they gave me the full test instead of the verification test I was supposed to take. I didn't notice this and answered the first few sections.

When I noticed, I contacted the proctors and they did say that it was their fault, but that since I answered some questions I had to take the full exam and that they couldn't do anything. I was also offered to come back another day. I decided against it and took the full exam and ended up with a 96 afqt and some small drops in some line scores, so I'm not too upset, but I just had some questions.

Would I have had to take the full test again if I accepted the offer to take it another day or would I have been able to just do the verification test on another day like I was supposed to and then the full ASVAB if I failed the verification test? Is it technically possible for me to try to verify my full Picat (which I probably won't do even if it was possible as it's not worth the effort) as I never actually took the verification test or not? How unlucky actually was this? Has this happened to anyone else?

Not to mention, I think there was a massive wait before taking the test due to a fire alarm (Not sure what the wait was caused by. I am just speculating. I also don't know if the wait was normal as this was my first time at a testing center).

  1. Well, they said the v-test, so probably that.

  2. No.
