Nightmare Tech Support: 5 Crashes and 30 Minutes of Lost Exam Time

I recently took the Oregon Construction Contractor exam through PSI’s remote proctoring service and it was an absolute nightmare. Despite having high-speed internet, the PSI Bridge software froze and crashed a total of 5 times.

Every single time it crashed, I was forced to restart the entire process: re-downloading the software and performing a full, invasive room and desk scan from scratch. This happened five times in one sitting.

The worst part was that when I finally got back into the exam after working with a technician I realized the timer had never been paused. I lost 30 minutes of my testing time due to PSI’s software failures. I was forced to rush through a high-stakes exam under extreme anxiety because the proctors failed to stop the clock while I dealt with their technical glitches.

While I managed to pass, the stress and technical incompetence of this platform are unacceptable for professional licensing. If you have the option, take your test at a physical center and avoid this software at all costs.

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We understand how stressful and frustrating it must have been to deal with repeated software crashes, repeated room scans, and losing 30 minutes of exam time during a high-stakes test. Even though you were ultimately able to pass, the interruptions and pressure you described can significantly impact a candidate’s testing experience.

Technical issues during remote exams should be reviewed so the session details, including the timer and reconnection process, can be evaluated. If you would like our team to review what occurred during your exam, please contact Candidate Care at cdcareweb@psionline.com
and include your exam confirmation number.

Your feedback is appreciated and will be shared with the appropriate team.

Not great, not terrible

I had an okay experience overall. I had difficulty finding the page to access my exam and did not receive clear instructions in the days leading up to up to my exam. I found the check-in process with the proctor (I took my exam at home) tedious and inefficient. I showed my workstation and surroundings multiple times yet had to keep showing obscure places of my home. The communication with the proctor after completing my exam was delayed and they were not helpful when my survey froze. It was also not disclosed that the results of the exam would be emailed to me within 24 hours so when I called the customer service line to find out if something was wrong with the submission of my exam, it took far too long and too many transfers to get a straight answer.

Worst customer service Preston test centre

Very much unhappy with the centre. I listened to one of the employee here calling Moron to a visitor who left the centre. I believe his name is Abdullah. When I challenged him on this he first said he is Fasting and then put me in the end of the queue as a penalty. Also, staff on the reception was loud and causing distraction.

VERY FRUSTRATED

I was ready to take my exam an hour before the 30 minutes as instructed. When the 30 minutes log in was allowed. I clicked the button and did all the appropriate things the proctor asked me to do. The proctor stated they could not hear me, even though I already did the text that popped up saying that my camera and microphone was working. The proctor sent me to troubleshooting, they said everything was fine. I was sent back to the proctor who again said they couldn't hear me, even though troubleshooting told me everything was on correctly! I was sent back to troubleshooting again. The only communication is via chat, which they do not reply promptly! Which means due to their uncommunication skills I was not allowed to take my exam because the troubleshooter person told me to refresh my screen and it kicked me out! It should not take over 5/10 minutes for someone via chat to respond! Why have this feature if the person's they employ cannot type 60wpm!
This is not the first time I have issues with trying to take this exam. I had the same issues before, So I knew what all had to be turned on within my computer and the add-on extension!!
Why CAN'T this company change the 30 minute log in to an 1 hour to make sure that IF there are any troubleshooting issues they can be resolved!!!
Even though customer service told me that someone would call me back within 24 hours... NO ONE has! I called customer service again.. I was told that now I have to wait 3 to 5 business days! No one should have to go through this to take an exam that I paid for. It should be simple and easy with NO frustrations!

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience. I understand how incredibly frustrating it must have been to prepare fully for your exam, follow all system requirements, and still be unable to test due to audio issues and delayed responses via chat. Repeated troubleshooting and unclear communication only add to the stress, especially when you’ve experienced similar issues before.

Remote proctoring requires technical checks for exam security, but long delays and disruptions in communication are not the experience we aim to provide. Your feedback about the login window, troubleshooting process, and chat responsiveness is important and will be shared with the appropriate team.

For immediate assistance and to have your exam attempt reviewed, please contact Candidate Care at cdcareweb@psionline.com

The worst customer service I ever…

The worst customer service I ever experienced. I had an exam scheduled in Washington state. Half way through the internet connection shut down and all test takers including me got send home. No I am listed in the system as failed first try and they gave me a 30 day block to reschedule . Only thing they were able to do is to give me a credit so I don’t have to pay twice but that took them 2 weeks too.

Absolut nightmare but unfortunately we have to go with them.

I would like to bring to your attention…

I would like to bring to your attention an issue that occurred during my son’s visit to your office today. The lady working in the front almost had my 16-year-old son take the wrong test because she called him by a different name and did not appear to be paying close attention to the information in front of her.

When my son presented his legal Texas identification—the temporary paper copy issued while the hard copy arrives in the mail—she seemed hesitant to accept it. This created unnecessary confusion and concern. Fortunately, another staff member noticed the situation and stepped in to correct it before my son was issued the wrong test.

Additionally, when I approached her to ask about the situation as his father, her response came across with an attitude and included a smart remark when answering my question. This interaction felt unprofessional and could have been handled in a more respectful manner.

I understand that mistakes can happen; however, situations involving identification and testing require careful attention. I would appreciate it if this matter could be addressed with the employee, whether through additional training or a reminder about the importance of paying close attention to names, valid identification documents, and maintaining professionalism when interacting with the public.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

A great experience overall!

It was nice and clean and the women who checked me in were kind and explained everything to me. The exam room was also quiet, which is a necessity for me. Overall, the only complaint I have is that an individual wore an overpowering perfume that was distracting. Maybe that is something you should add into your instructions?" Please don't wear scented lotions or perfume to consider those who are sensitive to smell."
