User reviews
Poorly designed with many faults. When doing screener if you click off the extension from toolbar it loses focus and acts as if you closed the test out. No way to get back to it. That means any type of minimizing the browser or switching browser (multiple monitor) can cause you to lose out on a current screener in process. I've also had issues during an actual test I've been accepted into where it asked me to visit a site and when I clicked the link it closed the test and prevented me from continuing and means I lost out on an actual test.

es muy buena aplicacion recomiendo

Works great, no issues. I wish it would be faster to get notifications however, as sometimes I have set everything up to find the test is no longer available. Upon clicking "Start your next test", it should reserve your spot like on other platforms.
