CLEP home proctoring issues

[origamishuttle]

Ideally, you should try to be prepared for anything a proctor may throw at you. For some it may be better to use the built-in laptop camera, but others require a separate camera with an articulated stand. CLEP wants you to use a mirror - even if you have to carry your laptop to the bathroom! PeopleCert wants all the doors of the room in view of the camera for the entire test. I've also had scheduled exams cancelled on me at the last minute, and I've had proctors disappear in the middle of a test. Overall, though, I have had pretty good experiences with remote proctoring. I've read reports of abusive/intrusive/creepy proctors or tests blowing up at the last second, so I am thankful for just getting by enough to pass.
