    Do NOT take it at home, accused of cheating by looking off screen. Proctor ended my exam. I will very highly suggest not taking it at home. Others have had theirs voided and cancled due to biting their shirt or wispering the question as the read it. Unreal and very dissipointing experience. Checkin process was also clanky and chat feature did not work durring the test. By all means take your chances... I was 10/10 prepaired setup wise and fully understood all of the rules and expected strictness. The experiance was extremely dissapointing and tramatizing.. And no I am not exagurating or ignorant or laxed on any of the strict processes or rules. To be honest it appeared to be blantant bias.. PMI may be wanting to phase out in home testing and using this approach to scare people out of taking the test at home. It absolutely worked, I will NEVER attempt taking it at home again.. Due to this mess I need to wait another month to take the exam again.

      @Beau Marchant, really glad that you found the video helpful! You should be all set with using your laptop's webcam. Since I know that others have experienced technical issues when taking their online exam and since the webcam plays such a huge role with the online proctoring, I like to err on the safety side and be over prepared, and so I recommend having an external webcam. Hope that helps!

    I passed the exam but after i received a message from PMI saying my exam was invalidated. I asked why and they answered me that:
    "Our post-administration psychometric analyses are conducted on every candidate’s exam by third-party experts in the fields of psychometrics and test security. We are confident in the results of these analyses. In the event that an exam result is flagged as unreliable, it is our policy to invalidate the exam score and offer the candidate a free retest. "
    I cannot believe. I followed all their rules and it is an exhausting exam. I don't know what to do.

    • @alvinthepmofficial
      @alvinthepmofficial  Год назад +2

      @Juliano Lima, I'm incredibly sorry to hear the news, and I can't imagine how frustrating that feels. I recommend reaching out to the PMI Online Live Chat, or calling their contact number, and explaining them your situation, to see if you can have your exam validated (and not invalidated) since you followed the rules and their policies. Reach out to them and explain that you did everything you could per their guidelines and strongly believe you deserve the certification after having taken it.

      @alvinthepmofficial  Год назад +2

      @Ganesh, really glad you found the video helpful! You can absolutely use the system's calculator during the exam. It's likely though that you won't see questions on your PMP Exam which would need the use of a calculator though (from my own testing experience).

    Quick question. When proctor asked you to take photos of surroundings, how do you upload photos by mobile phones?
    Also, I live in small space and have lots of model figures. Do I have to remove them out?

    • @alvinthepmofficial
      @alvinthepmofficial  Год назад +2

      Ike, you can upload pictures of your surroundings using your mobile phone. If you have the space available, I recommend placing your model figures so that it's not in the same room as your testing room. Is there any other area that you could place them, while you're taking the exam? (for example: drawer, cabinet, etc)

    Hi Alvin,
    I wanted to take this exam on my work laptop. I have permission. But it is not permitted to have any 3rd party software on it. Would the exam be too intrusive for this?

    • @alvinthepmofficial
      @alvinthepmofficial  4 месяца назад +1

      It might be a little tricky, since you have to install PearsonVue's exam software, which might require your IT Department to approve. If that isn't possible, you can try using your own personal computer or personal laptop to take the exam from home. And worst case, you can always schedule to take the exam at a physical testing center.

    • @alvinthepmofficial
      @alvinthepmofficial  Год назад +1

      @Zia, mirrors shouldn't pose a red flag to the online proctor. They're more concerned if you have any personal and/or preparatory items, such as books, notes, pencils, pens, etc. Check out this site for more detail: home.pearsonvue.com/onvue-tips?ot=collapse482

      From having taken the CAPM Exam myself, if you are given calculation based questions, they will NOT be complex and you can easily do them by writing on the screen with their whiteboard feature.
