Remotely proctored Microsoft exams (UK)

Hi, sorry this thread is a bit old but I thought why raise a new thread when this will do just fine.

I've just gone to schedule a Microsoft exam and Online proctored was an option so I think I'll go for it. I'm based in the UK. Here are the T's and C's before I clicked schedule

Brave new world, sitting your exams at home. I work at home. Could get my groceries delivered, amazon. Stream films on Netflix. Soon be no reason to go out!!!!

 

A concern for me too certainly. I'll make sure the house is empty when I sit it. I'll let you know how I get on. Last time I did something like this was to get my BCS CITP with two professors :S What the!

 

Funny you should say that mate, I had a little google before I looked into this and the net is filled with times the examiner has cancelled due to technical issues, 15 mins before :S
