So, 100 Standardized Tests may have just been invalidated (school wide shit-storm may ensue)

So, we were taking the Mathematics TAKS(Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills), basically 70 questions of crap we learned over our High School careers. They gave a couple of the classes a couple of new graphing calculators, TI-84 Silver Editions. What they failed to point, was that these Silver Editions came pre-loaded with a bunch of neat little apps, mostly stuff that would make the test much easier, as well as a couple of lessons on Algebra(the primary subject of the test). Turns out, a student in my class(friend of mine) pointed this out. The test Admins promptly decided to flip shit and go through ever class, and restore all calculators to factory conditions. Now, this was about 2 hours into the test, I had already finished, in about 1 hour, 40 minutes(actually a new personal best). So, by the time they came in and wiped everything out, I'd already finished and passed out on my desk. So, of course, the student that found all the apps got pulled out, they said something about not to mention this to everyone, and thank you(da -blam!-?), of course, he tells everyone he can find. Now, if this goes to district, I'll be stuck in a portable again, finish my test in under 2 hours, and sit there for 6 hours while some idiot decides to sleep first and test later. So Flood, recommendations on how to proceed? I really don't feel like doing that crap again. tl;dr version: Big ass standardized test, given calculators to test with by teachers, calculators had programs they shouldn't have, Admins found out, may invalidate every testing room with those calculators. What do?
