I recently took the Airbnb hackerrank test and was rejected saying that I can try again after 1 year. I was using an IDE to type up the solution and it crashed in the middle and I had to retype most of the code again. Few test cases were failing due to a copy paste error and I had to submit the code as the time was up. I got the failing test cases working within 5 mins after the timer ended. If it wasn't for the crash, I would have made it. I sent the working code to the recruiter in an email immediately.
Since there were failing test cases in the original submitted code, I am guessing that nobody looked at the code and it was an automatic rejection. I feel that if this was a phone interview I would have easily made it.
I replied to the rejection email explaining what happened and requested for a 15 min follow up call with someone in the hiring team. Still waiting for a reply.
I really feel that I can be a great fit at Airbnb.
I got through the Google interview and we are working on team match. I also have the Facebook and Uber on-site interviews coming up. I was really hoping for at least an on-site interview with Airbnb.
What would you folks advice? Is there a way to get another interview/test chance or shall I move on?

The point of my post is to figure out if there is another way to get another chance at Airbnb without waiting a year. I am assuming that I will not get a reply to "hey my IDE crashed" email as it sounds like an excuse.
The ide on hackerrank is fine for interview questions.
By using your own ide you have made yourself more problems than needed. Why would Airbnb care that you decided to ignore the ide provided to use your own then you had problems
