Worst experience EVER...ran the system check 5 times 30min before my test time...Got to the exam Start time it buffered on the same screen for 25 min. Reinstalled and same issue SAVE YOURSELF go do your exam in person no matter what it takes!!!!

Absolutely terrible. Tried using for 2 different exams. I was using corporate level wifi. Everything checked fine in the system check then the proctor is choppy and falls off. They blamed my internet both times. A huge scam, waste of time and money.

i have agoraphobia but am trying to get a degree and have to take proctored exams as a result. This is the only "product" that is apparently available and every single time I use it I have an issue which is always blamed on me. I have 600mbps and am only connected to my computer every time i start this up. Once it took over an hour for them to get it together, thus resulting in me panicking (unfortunate and uncontrolable) and failing the midterm. Ive been told I was going to get a refund multiple times as well, to no avail. If you are someone who has an option on products, or a school trying to decide also stay far away from this company. It is a waste of time and the workers are RUDE and INCONSIDERATE.
