Study.com Proctor Questions

[Merlin]

Merlin you said "it can take a week or more before you get your official test results." Do you mean for ACE certification? Because all test results show up immediately on study.com. You can definitely tell if you passed or not, even if the dashboard doesn't update immediately. And ACE certification can take a while for most providers anyway, even if you live proctor. I personally liked that I didn't have to schedule with recorded proctor sessions. As soon as I'm ready to take the test and have the free time, I like to test, even if it's 2:00 a.m.

Definitely look into a webcam, as it opens up so many more options.

It is true that you get your final exam results at the end of the test, but those results are not official until the proctoring session has been reviewed (which seems to take about a week in my experience) and the results have been confirmed. Until that happens, the dashboard shows "Pending" for your official score and you are unable to transcript the course.

As for ACE, I've found that most places seem to respond to ACE pretty fast, so it rarely takes more than 1-2 business days unless there is a hold (such as for Study.com when awaiting proctoring confirmation).

But yeah, I definitely appreciate the ability to take tests and such on my own schedule. I do most of my studying and testing after 11 pm, so I prefer not needing to schedule a proctor session 3 days in advance or deal with someone else's schedule or delays.
