Alternatives to Proctor U for Straighterline?

[High_Order1]

Just to echo the others:

I too have privacy issues. Whether valid or not is up for contention.

I use an older laptop for proctored testing. All you really need is Windows Vista or better. I've taken a few SL tests, and they haven't complained.

I thought they needed a sterile room; I was wrong.

They seem to be looking for just cheating stuff, and not clutter, really, if that makes any sense. So, second monitor, visible notes, someone hiding under the table feeding you answers kinda stuff. Not whether your place is habitable. (I'm being trite, but, hell, at the beginning, I didn't know, either!)

Only thing I haven't figured out is how you can use an e book for an open final test. Only one I've had, they told me I couldn't use any books, then changed their mind at the last second (I passed in spite).

One other thing I've done, is rent a cheap hotel room. Assured no interruptions. Bring junk food and soda, leave tv off, I managed to knock out a great deal of things, then left. $40, it was cheaper than the next alternative.

Of course, sample size=1 and all that, but I really really researched this topic across the web before I plunked down ca$h. Only thing I will suggest here is to spring for the test now feature. ABSOLUTELY worth every penny. No scheduling - it's like ordering a pay per view movie. Hit the button, get up and stretch, eat, etc. sit down and bam - off to the races.

Best wishes on your pursuits!

Oh - also, you didn't ask, but I liked SL ok. I'd like to try some of the other offerings, but haven't really tried yet.
