Has anyone ever taken a proctored assessment? It's really odd to and I don't know what to expect.

Proctored assessments are just someone monitoring you, so you don't cheat. The person usually isn't watching you 24/7 as they have other exams they are monitoring. I honestly did not find it an issue when I sat for my exam and just concentrated on the exam which I recommend you do. As too level of difficulty/what's on the exam it is related to what your exam is for and has nothing to do with the proctor.

Thank you, I find that helpful 😊

Don't we all take the CPA exam? I mean I took it like 30 years ago but it was proctored at that time.

Expect about what?

You never took a proctored exam in college?

I’ve had to take an exam to get a job before. I think they may be trying to validate that the skills you listed on your resume are legit. I was brought in before to replace someone who fibbed on their resume about their typing and excel skills. This is unfortunately becoming a bigger issue. Just focus on doing your best. Good luck.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
