Problems duting the exam

Updated Jun 22, 2007 at 07:33 PM by traumatized8

has anyone took the exam and had to wait for a candidate to be finished in the exam because pearson scheduled an excess beyond the number of examinees at a certain period? because my exam was at 8:45 and I had to wait for about an hour until someone had finished before they could let me in, they said that it was pearson's fault... (I was as early but I was the 16th examinee) could that be possible? what do you think I should do? I'm really nervous.

**(sorry the title was spelled wrong I'm kinda new here I dont know how to edit the title, it's "Problems during the exam" by the way.)

I had the opposite happen to me; I got to my test at least an hour and a half earlier and they asked me if I wanted to go in and take it immediately, or wait until my time. THAT was TOTALLY unexpected! But, I took advantage of it because I would have sat there and went crazy, and, also, they actually had a room for me to sit in alone, because there were two computers there. The proctor told me to pick the one I wanted. That particular computer kicked my butt, but I did pass the exam.

Did you get to sit for your test? Good luck!

well in your case that is normal because since someone had finish early you can already sit for the test if you like,I have many friends who were scheduled in the afternoon who went to the test site early so that they could take the exam, but I haven't heard a situation like mine huhuhu...

yes I did take the exam that day I just had to wait for someone to finish. luckily someone finished after an hour.

do you think I should email pearson to ask if they did schedule 16 people instead of 15?
