I recall reading some threads last year about PCP and how paranoid proctors wrote up candidates for the most random things, one of which was making eye contact with the proctor. Now I’m getting paranoid, two times I looked up to check the time, this one terminator old lady made eye contact with me both times… makes me wonder if she was tracking me the whole time or something, wtf!
Luckily I sat alone at my table (had a no show) so I can’t see how they could even try to accuse me of anything but after reading horror stories from others, I can’t help but wonder what this lady’s deal was…
yeah, this is why i dont take the test in the US. In India you can cheat and do whatever you want. Nobody will write you up. In america, you look sideways for a moment and some zealot books you and ruins your year.
Last year I was checking out a curvacious fellow candidate as she was standing up, when I realized that the proctor could interpret it as cheating because her answer sheet was open and the proctor (also a lady) was looking right at me. Thankfully, the proctor must have deduced correctly that I was just a perv, not a cheater.
I’m slightly paranoid. At one point in exam I pulled a pencil out of my pocket cuz it was jabbing me. Swore the proctor walked by me at same time and wrote something down. Bunch of bullsh
I always bring my own watch and put it on my desk. The center clock is usually far away and looking at it will require facial and eyesight adjustments, giving the appearance of looking at others. So, its too risky and its not worth it.
Talked to a guy that got his watch confiscated in the AM mid-exam and written up. He claimed they did so b/c they thought he had an alarm set that was going to beep at 3 hrs. In reality he was just running the chrono on his watch. I have no idea if he was lying to me or if that proctor is a paranoid moron…
