SingFish Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Anyone have any experience of Proctor U electronic proctoring service? I have to use it for a test in a few weeks. I'm a bit paranoid because it has horrible online reviews and some of them say settings and info got wiped from their computers. Link to post Share on other sites
glows Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The last exam I did was for an eye exam. 🤓 I don't have any feedback on Proctor U but I hope that your info stays safe! Link to post Share on other sites

Alpacalia Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yes... My math tests and a few other were proctored with them. They just sit and watch you while taking the exam. It's really not all that bad. I did not have any issues with data being stolen. Besides big brother is always watching. Link to post Share on other sites

I hate this kind of stuff, I even scheduled it wrong, you do it in blocks of 30 minutes and I only bought one first. I asked the course tutor what if it doesn't work and she said they can assign me an alternative to the exam if that happened. But she also thought it would be fine, said they use it all the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have the option to have it proctored in person? Some college and universities offer that option as well. Mine were being proctored online back when the schools weren't allowing in-class participation during Covid. Link to post Share on other sites
Wiseman2 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I would rather take another one of these computerized tests than have a proctology exam. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Going to give it a go and if it's cr*ppy I'll do that next time... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
