The Admin at instantcert add additional policing of my final exams and will imply misconduct even if you look away from screen and will hold your credit hostage for longer and force repeat exam/money- This is my personal experience, take it as you wish- I do believe an end user/student should never suffer this on any platform.
I had two proctored PRnow exam successfully completed. The first one on Instantcert platform -Admin stated not in frame please do over and pay PRnow. The second one was in the frame the entire exam.On that same day and same environment I completed two proctored finals. One for study platform and for instantcert using same PRnow for final.
1) Study.com- PNRow /study - pass the course successfully and study offered me my Ace credit.
2)Instancert- Pass successfully , however Director/ Admin imply false unfair statements and deny credit several times- Send a screen shot of me looking away- I analyze both with Study/Instantcert.
> Study.com statements “We don’t penalized students at Study for speaking or looking away”. We know students sometimes look away and also read out load.
Instancert platform/Admin’s implications has been a nightmare thus far.
Waste of time and money that I will never get back- Hopefully by me passing this on to other will save someone else the nightmare , money , time and frustration.
It's very common for institutions to penalize students for doing things other than the exam, such as looking off-screen. This has absolutely nothing to do with the color of your skin and everything to do with preventing students from cheating. InstantCert may not be for everyone but, again, this has absolutely nothing to do with whether your skin is white or green or purple or black or polka dotted.
WGU is VERY strict on this policy. You cannot talk - out loud or move your lips while reading the questions on exams. Your hands can't touch your face. You must stay in full view the entire time. LSU also has policies about looking around, where your hands are, etc. Lots of schools are very picky about these things because of the appearance of cheating. Everyone deals with this. It's not a race issue. It's a policy issue. I mean the commenter said they weren't in the frame for part of the exam so yeah no one is going to accept that. That's the whole point of being proctored.
