I highly recommend not taking the test if you can wait.
I just took mine and it was awful. I deeply regret taking it instead of waiting for the regular exam to be back.
I had several issues with my whiteboard. It kept clearing all my work whenever I pressed some letters.
I complained about it with the proctorer and he reset my test to the point where I was, without compensating me for the lost time.
It still didn't work and I complained again asking to reset my test from the beggining. At this point I had already lost around 10 minutes talking to the proctorer and rewriting all my equations.
After all I asked to cancel my test and return my money. However, they told me it was not possible and would have to get along with the problems or to revoke my test and lose my money.
If you really need to take the test now, be prepared to technical issues and no further actions from the staff. Just try to ignore them and keep your test.
So frustrating!
Hi, I took the test yesterday and had similar issues.
To begin I experienced issues with my id verification, it took me almost 20' to get it validated, I'm not sure why as all the pictures were clear.
The proctor did not say anything and I was redirected to the start. I prepared the whiteboard (note that the letter type and size on the textbox will not be saved in the whiteboard configuration, better do not modify it), but when I first used it for the third or fourth question, when trying to type an equation when pressing y the textbox would disappear and a figure will be randomly drawn (I got a triangle and two squares, no clue why).
I lost like 2-3' on that and got nervous; two questions later I had to work with powers and found that the characters were not appearing in the textbox, just white spaces, it was really frustrating and made me more nervous. Finally, I had to remember not to use "y" and change ^ for another expression (pow).
I did inform the proctor about it in the end, knowing that if I did it asap it will reduce my exam time.
Probably I will try to take it at the test center soon, will wait some days to see the results.
Regards,
Pablo
