Worst exam fears realised. What was that excel glitch???

That was absolutely traumatising. My plan was to save time and revisit the workings before submission and the excel just disappeared. So did my mind. I think I actually started weeping staring into the camera at one point not knowing if I could speak or not.

I had to do the system check about five times despite having a strong internet connection and I was kicked out of the exam on at least three occasions. Did anyone else have the testreach staff announce issues on loudspeaker even after being let back into the exam? that’s so insanely disruptive for a professional exam I can’t believe how badly Testreach handled that.

In all my time practicing the comps, I had never used a calculator and at the moment in mattered the most they expected us to use our shaky hands while the time runs out and you have to keep scrolling to see the question… remember what you did before and redo it. That’s so ridiculously unfair. I felt so confident up until the disruption and I have applied for special consideration but my goodness I hope they fix it for the November sittings this was awful.
