User reviews

I spent 50 minutes before my exam just in the onboarding. For each step, it would report an error, give me a dozen permissions requests back-to-back, then crash and take me back to the start, where I was able to go one step further each time. At one point the app needed an action from me before I could continue, I performed the action, and it would not move forward. I reached out to support who told me I could refresh the window to move on. I had to start over all again. Terribly designed and a mess to use.

Sorry if you dislike proctored exams... Would you prefer to travel and sit in a lecture hall writing your exam for hours with stinky people? Or would you rather write in the comfort of your own home? If it helps, you aren't being judged by the proctor. It's no different than having a security camera at a workplace.
