Computer Issues during Exam

Postby rbbarnh1 » Tue Sep 26, 2017 7:01 am

Hello all -
I took PPP Yesterday and kept having issues with the Mouse during the MC and then for the Vignette the screen was zoomed in i couldnt see the entire site plan and grid!!! I had the Exam Tech look at it and he restarted my computer!! Talk about a distraction! Anyone else have this happen? and is there anything I can do to get a retake? Also not to mention another exam taker smelling like patchouli didnt help!! :?: :?: :( :shock:

I would definitely contact NCARB. They take a while to review and respond though (almost a month if I recall). I've had glitches on other exams, but not quite as extreme as yours. I ended up passing anyways but still contacted NCARB to make sure they were aware of the issues.

I think I read somewhere that offensive patchouli contamination was cause for a free retake...

Patchouli?
I didn't know there was a H.I.T. exam.

I have the same issue on Vignette too. That was on CDS on May 2017. The floor plan is bigger than the screen that slow me down and I couldn't finish it when I found a mistake.I had just retake and it worked fine this time and pass. I did send email to NCARB and called Prometric center days before the exam to make sure if this issue had been fixed. The lady there said nobody complained about it. hmm...
