Gosh awful experience
I took a praxis exam last night, due to the pandemic I opted for the test at home option. This was the 2nd exam at home I’ve taken. The first exam, it took 1 hour to “log into and on to” the exam. After logging in and on to the first exam, I had no real problems, and expected that to happen last night. Little did I know! Last night was a hot dumpster fire of a mess! I logged on in 2 minutes flat, so I was stoked! Expecting to get right into the exam, but about 5 questions in, my proctor takes over my exam when the communication module pops up and they ask “you are having connections issues may I take over your mouse so you don’t lose time”. Of course I don’t want to be penalized by losing time so I say yes. They download the extension which was NOT done when I logged in the exam. After waiting the required time to log back into my test, I go, and I get to a good bit further in the exam, and they pop back up, same thing “can I take over your mouse so you don’t lose time?” I sigh roll my eyes and say yes. Who wants to be penalized for time? This happens 5 to 6 times. I get to the constructive response essays, the end of the exams, I am writing my tail off and BOOM happens again. 5th or 6th different person asks to take over my mouse, “so you don’t lose time” I start crying on video. I am given my mouse back and I’m back in my essay crying while writing my essay. I don’t know if PU gets a kickback for failures or not because that was in the back of my head, but I got angry. I sucked it up! I wrote my tail off. Like a FU to everyone who is trying to derail me. FU!
