Some other issues include: you have to talk to someone obviously working in a foreign call center; the background noise can make it difficult to hear (let alone understand) what the proctor is telling you. Another common issue is them having no clue how to actually access your exam.
Anyone wishing to take an exam proctored by ProctorU should probably block out at least 3 hours: 1 hour for the exam, 2 hours to resolve the issues that crop up.
Good grief! 3 hours? That's insane. Examity also has foreign call center staff who are very difficult to understand and hear. The background noise was ridiculous. I ended up breaking the rule and turning my speakers to mute because I needed quiet. Yeah that exam access thing was not great with Examity either. They had to enter an access code and had no idea where to do it. Maybe PU and Examity are run by the same people who haven't a clue. PU sounds worse than Examity which I didn't even know was possible
