I have HAD IT WITH PMI I even failed due to their system they claim it’s technical difficulties but it still shows as failed and they refused to do anything then I resist and before I could even sign in it shut me out again the proctor disappeared. SMH I did all this because I have a baby and it’s difficult to go out to centers but GOD I AM MENTALLY BROKEN FROM PREPARING THEN GOING THROUGH THIS Update: I sat it again after having them refund my entire payment then authorized two exam opportunity and extended my eligibility period to an extra 90 days. I was happy for that but now I PASSED I can’t use the other voucher. It was almost 2 weeks worth of back and forth. I will certainly be staying here to continue to educate myself on changes Thank you your teachings are admirable.

@@Praizion you are absolutely right l. And I watched your video and communicated well with them letting them know they need to take responsibility for these type of actions. It was really difficult for the first couple days but after continuously engaging with the reps they found a solution that calmed my nerve. Many would say I shouldn’t have tried it remotely ever again but I did because I had a reserve. However I went in highly confident, more relaxed and use it as a lesson learned. I still took the risk but it was one that I could handle but I was very confident I need just this one shot. Thank you again I’ll be staying around learning as much from you I find your video’s incredible.

I know some dishonest ones exist, but too close to the monitor??? Plain stupid excuse for stopping a test at 110! UGH! I am sorry to hear this!

@@Praizion I failed because the exam didnt match conventional study materials. Had I known that it would be so agile software-focused, I would have went after the Prince 2 certification instead. The PMP exam reflected nothing from the PMBOK and had little in comparison with the CAPM exam. I had 1 math problem, and less than 20 traditional PMP and waterfall questions. However, I've watched your videos and have a better understanding of agile methods and should do well.

I also signed up for reasonable accommodations. It was a breeze. EYES FORWARD. PHONE out of arm's REACH. Kids were home every time. I explained this immediately and each time, they said ok, no problem as long as you can sit and test. If the phone rings, do not touch it. Don't move your head to the left or right. PMP SPECIFICALLY I got four breaks and was forced to pause and walk off, drink water or use the bathroom. When the time comes though please be back in front of the computer and be sure to place setting on do not sleep. VERY IMPORTANT, people. I don't care if it's something on your face.

Firstly, thanks for the effort in commenting. Many do NOT so I sense you want to weigh in to balance up to help others. "BAD" advice is quite an interesting word. Can you expand on your thoughts? Is this your opinion based on one person's experience? Or many? I cannot count how many cries and laments I have heard from many students who worked for months and even years only to be severely disappointed either by the proctor or the system. I have been coaching this exam for 18 years, going on 19. I didn't make these stories up. DO NOT take the exam at home if you have a choice. It is ok when one escapes but for me I hear cries regularly. It is very traumatic for some. I have raised my concerns to PMI's visibility. This is pretty serious stuff.
