ProctorU testing in the Summer of 16

[sheptr]

Lol, forgive me for laughing...that sounds terribly frustrating! But now at least you have a great story lol ;D I suppose you had to pay the proctor fee again, even though you didn't finish the test?

I just took another Saylor exam through ProctorU tonight and had the same old issue with the Authentication hang-up. Only this time, the proctor said I wasn't allowed to take the test unless I showed TWO forms of ID...what even?! I asked if they had recently changed the rules, because that was never required before, and after some hemming and hawing, he said he would just override it this time, but he would let my instructor know that my authentication won't work (something they tell me every time).

Thanks keepsingin!
Set up the Tech Writing for tonight at 11:20 PM EST. Was falling asleep, while authenticating. Took about 20 mins. Then the proctor changed some setting and we had no sound. Apparently that is a no go for testing. 40 minutes later after a reboot (of a brand new laptop) I was able to start at 12:15 AM. It took me almost the full three hours to cobble together this exam, which most others seem to have breezed thru. Blaming sleep depravation. I was pretty punchy at the start and am downright delirious now. Hoping the grader has a sense of humor and my boss too, when I show up on 3 hours of sleep.
