TERRIBLE_multiple experiences, same opinion
TERRIBLE! On two separate occasions my son was disqualified for reasons out of our control. The challenge isn't that we were disqualified as much as the lack of consistency on what Pearson Vue deems "acceptable". Consistency of decisions and a lack of empathy by Proxy Agents makes immediate challenge resolution nearly impossible. As a business owner myself, I can see numerous issues including a lack of training in their own system. Proxies seam to have NO EXPERIENCE using the consumer side of their own system thus cannot fathom what users may be dealing with in navigating system pitfalls.
First for LA test, per GED.com Pearson Vue requirements . . . we logged in, passed system tests, checked in, showed my sons id (minor), then used my id as parent verification, which was APPROVED by the proxy. After that my son started having technical issues on our end (a background system started itself up automatically). While trying to overcome this hurdle, the proxy was hounding us to "shut down any other apps". I was certainly trying, but his ongoing hounding was also making me nervous and hasty so I couldn't troubleshoot effectively. He said that we needed to disconnect, but that we can start at the beginning for verification when we are ready. We disconnected and I was able to quickly uncover which computer application started itself up, then I uninstalled it from my computer to prevent recurrence. We started over with the entire process again, system tests, id verification for my son, then started my id verification . . . the new proxy noticed that my DL had expired and now wouldnt let my son test! We were disqualified. I was told to take the case number and call customer service, then the system closed. No phone number was provided. We logged back into ged.com and searched however no phone number was available, so I tried their chat system which took me in circles before I was put in a que. After 45 min support still never came!
I immediately ordered a new government issued ID for our next attempt.
Rescheduled test for diff day. During the next test appt, my husband showed his ID and all worked smoothly (his ID is older, but not expired). My son passed his exam.
Next day, we scheduled his next/Math exam, waited for that appt, in the meantime my new government issued ID was delivered.
Math Testing day . . . ran system tests, son provided ID, then I provided my new ID but Pearson Vue system wouldnt authorize. I went in circles with the Proxy Agent who said we needed either a different computer or a different camera. We were using the same computer/camera as the previous successful test without access to an alternative. Why could they authorize during the previous appointment but not this time?! Sounds like a problem between their software and the shiny new government issued ID!!!
This time the Proxy disqualified us, then I had to stop him from hanging up to get a phone number from him. Another 45 minutes on the phone (that customer service rep was super pleasant) and now there is a plan in place for us to submit an ID scan for an override, which could take another 3-5 days. So now we need to rearrange our families busy schedule AGAIN.
My suggestion . . . forgo Pearson Vue and take your GED test in person. Maybe if the pocketbook for the online system is impacted enough, they will need to make some changes.
