Does anybody have any horror stories with proctors? Am usually hearing that proctors could be hit or miss (which is a shame for a $250 exam). That way I could be prepared for what's going to happen on test day. I think the usual complaint is being late?

Just a thought, for the 4 hours of the exam, the proctor has to monitor us on screen and they like us working remote(maybe) and has bad internet on their off days. So there is a bit of a risk that we may have to be patient with them, during the test. We added more complexity now by taking online exam:
1. We are not on Pearson Vue network/center to have a dedicated access to their own internal network with speed & reliability. -ve.
2. Proctor have to monitor us through their network. They also need breaks like us
-ve
3. Pearson Vue has to get to record all things we do while we take test and all the things proctor does. -ve
4. Even to talk to a person we will have to stare on the computer monitor. -ve
Unless it is urgent, I would suggest test center as chances are with less problem and more reliability & comfort. I just had to focus on the test and not the external factor. :wink:wink:

Yes, delayver, proctor tardiness is a common issue with the online version of the test. In the beginning, I heard more accounts of people getting scolded for not showing both sides of their noteboard before leaving for break, but I have not seen any such mention in months now. I did have a client who could not communicate with the proctor. The video was working, and he could hear the proctor, but the proctor could not hear him, so he had to reboot his computer and start over. That was a waste of time. To be honest, though, it seems as if the majority of proctors are professional and courteous. Just remember not to mouth words as you read or cover your face in a thinking pose, and you should be just fine.
Good luck.
