Sorry about the lab. This happened to me
back in November. I took the lab and KNEW
I had passed, only to find out I had failed. I
requested a rescore and it didn't change
anything. Not only that, it took a full month to
get the new score back. It was a TOTAL waste
of money.
Don't let this discourage you though. Keep on trying
and you'll eventually get there.
