It's a very horrible, unprofessional & irresponsible experience
It's a very horrible, unprofessional & irresponsible experience I took a CAN financial license exam in mid Apr 2022. I chose to write remotely via ProProctor (one component of Prometric Assessment System). I wrote 2 similar exam from them smoothly under identical conditions in 2021 with no problem. My home internet connection is excellent, at high speed, reliable & provided by tier 1 provider Bell; I was the only one user during exam time. During check-in process, agent's background was extremely noisy & busy (as well, I could see a TV screen is playing program). Agent's conversation got choppy & I needed to ask agent repeat many times. After exam started, it had 10+ times of minor error connection interruptions, that was very annoying but I could still keep on exam pace. Each time, a small window popped up saying Error connection for 20s to over 60s long. I asked proctor on Chat box what it means, answer is "I don't know". In the middle of exam, connection halted completely & I was instructed to exit, relaunch app & re-do check-in process. After reconnected, I found I lost exam pace by running short of time, plus it had few more minor error connection interruptions thereafter. Though I could finish answering all questions at the end, I didn't have time to review previous unsure ones. I highly suspect I lost 15-20 mins due to major disconnection & reconnection interruptions, caused by busy & unstable internet connection at ProProctor's end. End up I failed the exam. After 100's hrs of study & review of course materials to prepare for exam, it's very unfair to me as my exam result was seriously affected by unreliable connection, complete disconnection & unprofessional service. I reported & appealed to financial educational organization that provide exam to conduct investigation, review video & communication records. Certainly they don't help me much. It jeopardize my work at a bank due to regulatory requirement. It's absolutely insane. A side note: by all these negative comments on this company, apparently there is no any response or improvement from them.
