ProctorU testing in the Summer of 16

[sheptr]

I registered tonight for the Premium Take it Now, as I have 5 TECEPS to take before the May term ends 24JULY. Trying to find 2 hour blocks of time where I can refresh my memory for 45 mins or so and then test. Simple enough. Scheduled CIS 107- Computer Apps for 9:45 PM, going to wing that exam, as I am in IT that last 15 years.
ProctorU couldn't get it together. The Premium authentication worked well and quickly, and nice enough proctors, and techs, but buggy software. Finally after an hour and a few minutes, we are good to go, I am reading the final instructions in the chat waiting for the proctor to enter password and unlock the test, so excited to ready to take what I think wil lbe an easy test, when the screen freezes and my power goes out at 10:48PM. Aaaaaagh!! We had storms come through earlier today, and PSEG must have knocked my block out, fixing the other outages. I am sure they heard me screaming at ProctorU in Alabama, with no power and no internet. It is about 85 degrees and humid so I wait till about 11:45PM, before heading to garage to fire up generator and flipping over to back up panel. Aggravated beacuse of the test being lost in the outage, having to roll motorbikes and other random junk out of the way to get to generator. Start unrolling the 100 foot 90 pound cable down the driveway and voila! the lights all pop back on. Can only shake my head, can't make this up. Will have to try and get one TECEP a day for the next 5 days to close out term.

EDIT: Much better experience tonight with ProctorU, interestingly enough, having power & internet really helped. Though that 360 degree room view sweep that is required with the camera is not meant to be performed with a wired laptop in a docking station. CIS 107 Computer Concepts and Applications has been passed.
