Exam / Proctor & Video Issues
Hi everyone,
I’m new here and want to share my experience. I took a 40-hour PMP course last April, funded by my employer, a general contractor offering it to APMs and PMs seeking PMP certification. With my qualification expiring soon, I scheduled my exam for today, despite leading a $60M school project. I studied intensively over the past month.
I chose to take the exam in a conference room at work to avoid external pressure. Two minutes in, the proctor asked me to remove my watch, which I did, showing my hands on video. After the first 60 questions, I asked to use the bathroom during the break, and the proctor agreed. At the second break, there was a chat delay, but I informed him I was using the bathroom and returned within 5 minutes. Upon returning, I found the chat, video feed, and laptop camera light gone. I resumed and finished the exam, submitting the survey afterward.
Later, I saw Pearson called me four times, leaving messages about revoking my access due to lack of contact. However, the PMI website shows I took the exam. Should I be concerned? I adhered to the rules, focusing only on the screen and my water. Why didn’t they revoke my access and let me finish? I can’t control software issues.
Please share your thoughts!
