Taking a TECEP on last day of semester

[tsimmns]

Since this is my first TECEP to take I'm wondering how it works. I have signed up to take it on the 20 of May, not technically the last day for the March semester but pretty close. How does the grading go for essay test and will TESU get the answers and such right away and now that I've taken it in time or does Proctor U have to forward something to them. Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but it will be my first test with the Proctor u program and I don't want TESU saying I didn't take the test in time so late towards the end.

You take the test on TESUs website. All ProctorU does is watch you take it(and enter their password to unlock the test.) You don't have to do anything further.

I've taken exams on the last day, with no problems. But I wouldn't suggest waiting until then, because at one point there WAS a problem - ProctorU didn't have any spots available! TESU granted me a short extension, but it caused a lot of stress.

After I take a TECEP, I email the testing department to tell them, and then you get to wait to see your grade posted. For the exams where you already know your score, it's fine. For the others, it takes them FOREVER to grade - a full 2 weeks sometimes. I have actually had to email testing to ask them what was going on. They also aren't always good about posting your score to your account, which is frustrating.

Anyway, it all seems to work itself out, but can be an annoying process for the non-multiple-choice (essay or short answer) exams. So you just need a little patience, and persistence if you don't get your score within 2 weeks.

Very frustrating! It reminds me of doctors' offices... the patient has to be on time, valid insurance, copay ready, etc. The doctor can show up late, cancel at the last minute, change office policies with no more notice than a small sign on a board, etc.

In my mind, for a large Higher Ed school to be so unorganized, with the left hand often unaware of what the right hand is doing in today's technological age is just... silly.
