As example during my PMI-ACP , at midnight an application start doing auto update in my PC ( this things can happen because we have many applications on auto-update), they blocked the exam instantly, I contacted them by the chat box that is available to contact the operator so that the exam become available again, they took about 20 minutes to solve the issue, the timer of the exam never stopped and the lost time were never recovered , furtenelly, even so I had no major problems to complete the exam on time.
But little things like this ones can happen.

This interesting, thank you Alexnadre. This is why I don't like to take exam linger than 2 hours at most from home. It chould be challenging in so many ways incuding loss of connection for any reason. Saving Changes...

Does anyone have the direct PMI link to the details of this new approach
Can you elaborate what was bad about your experience so everyone can be aware ?
Thanks
RK
Yes, I still remember that I have checked in for twice and the proctored guide asking me for three times to reboot my laptop , he told me he has a problem with video feed then I lost it.
The second time it was a problem of our Firewall which blocked the OnVue.exe from running suddenly.
I also noticed that OnVue.exe application continuously updated (average of two days).

Thank you Mr. Krion I saw your question on Mr. Sunil' LinkedIn and was searching for updated on this portal so I can schedule online my exam which was originally scheduled to 9 April, moved to 20 April and now Pearson fellow in Lahore moved it to 01 June after my approval.
I was not able to see any option to schedule exam online when I click reschedule button.
Can you please confirm if I will have to cancel the whole thing first and then schedule exam.
also I am waiting for the answers to questions asked by Mr. Rami before I will schedule it online.
Thank you

According to PMI's web page for the online exam: "In your online Pearson VUE account, you first need to cancel your existing exam date. Then you can schedule a new exam date choosing the online proctored testing option. PMI is currently waiving exam rescheduling fees for all exams until 1 July 2020. "

For the future, this can be prevented by (if using Windows) opening Task Scheduler as an admin and disabling all scheduled tasks. Saving Changes...

Kiron,
I believe that this is going to be a very personal choice on how best you test. The structure of the exam center, was daunting however there was some comfort in know that they were responsible for the technology and I just needed to do the hard part. Also, the isolation in a closed room for (4) hours, even with a break, may lead to more stress. At the test center, there were other people and even though I could not speak to them, at least there was company. I would love to hear feed back from participants who try the on-line testing experience.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Michael! I would agree that different folks have different comfort zones for test taking. In my case, when I wrote the PMI-ACP a few years back, I found myself getting distracted (and irritated) by the sighs and groans of other test takers which were audible to me even with the ear plugs provided. I could have complained to the invigilators, but as I wrapped the exam up fairly quickly I didn't feel it was worth the hassle.
