To give you another example - I was in the military for eight years. During that time, I would have qualified. Then I got out with a normal honorable discharge back in '04. Even though I'm a veteran (disabled at that) I no longer qualified to use that link the day I left. But wait! I got a job as a government contractor soon after. All of a sudden I qualified again. Unfortunately, I quit my job yesterday. I no longer qualify. 
The CAC/Military ID really is a good litmus test. If you have one, you're golden. If not, then I can't think of a reason you would qualify using the DoD/MWR criteria.
This was part of the conversation I had with the employee from Petersons the other day. That's actually how the subject of them upgrading the library portals came up. Once they do the upgrade, we'll all be good for as long as that link works.
Thank you Justin for explaining that! I have always been confused that they don't explicitly include/exclude veterans in the wording on the sign-up page.
About your job, my best wishes on your next endeavour!

Wow, this thread has gotten quite long since I last visited it!

Sorry for not updating you earlier. I actually tried accessing the website (from the link on FCP) using Firefox and it worked!  The website looks different than it did the last time I accessed it. It seems the difference was that I had not used Firefox to access the site before, but I don't know. I still don't really know what the problem was.
Hope it works out for you. Did you contact Petersons?

I just tried using Google Chrome and it also worked! I have no idea what the problem was, but it seems to have been fixed.

My husband has been on the phone lots tonight trying to get this to work. We have tried Chrome, firefox, IE. We have tried disabling securites etc with still no luck. We have Time Warner Road Runner and we are wondering if it has to do with our provider not our settings. My neighbor who has the local small town cable provider can get on just fine. We are going to try our neighbors network with our computers and see if that works. Then we can figure out if it is our provider...
Any other ideas?

Okay, so I've had some things come up and I hadn't had a chance to call Petersons till today so I tried to access the practice tests before I called and guess what....THEY WORKED!!!! I was soo happy I almost started jumping up and down!  milelol: I'm not sure what happened, but whatever it was is fixed now! I never ended up calling them so I'm not sure what was wrong, but I'm soo thrilled that its fixed! I know it was a recent thing because I tried yesterday and they didn't work then! Oh, well!
Thanks so much to everyone who tried to help get this problem solved!

I think the Peterson's site has bandwidth problems. It seems to time out when you're trying to load the actual tests and then redirects to a different Thomson minisite.
I've found if I keep on trying (and trying different browsers when one doesn't work), it eventually gets going. It's annoying, but it is worth the wait.

Thanks for the suggestion! It sounds like you might have had a slightly different problem then me. I couldn't even get onto the site to access the tests! So I couldn't even try to load them! Ah, well it works now!
