Laurel Hi !  Hope you’re well  – looking forward to seeing every in SF in February!! Actually NO One Timed out – and yes I was offered an additional day testing if I wanted it.

The  10 taking today were on call on Saturday. We didnt require an additional day thankfully.

Good Morning All-

Erica I certainly feel your pain !!! My residents also complained that this was the worst test experience, and we have done remote since Covid.  My 5’s were the most frustrated.  I did speak with Christina from AAOS on Saturday, I emailed the exams at AAOS, she called me immediately.  I was also concerned  because   I signed up for test systems live  text alerts , for ease of sharing with my examinees testing  on Saturday and got no alerts. I had to login into the test system live for  updates. The  F5, command + R  solution was sent out  around 12 pm, and I passed along to my group. I didn’t get alerts every 15 minutes to issues they were aware of as indicated  twhen I signed up for alerts.

I was assured  by Christina  this texting site issue would not effect grades but again we had 8 am start and  most of the class finished at or around 5pm.  Though they have a 7 hour window, we all know most do not utilize the entire time. She also advised me to let her know if anyone timed out and that she would provide us with an extra test day if needed since we only signed up for 2 dates.

I’ve got 10 taking makeup today – they started at 8am and so far only one was kicked out, but no other issues!! Fingers crossed!

Good Luck everyone- maybe would be good to include an Oite portion of best practices for testing etc, with someone from AAOS, at our meeting in February?       -Dawn

as an update- everyone I did  just get a call from AAOS ( christina the person who actually creates the exam) and they are aware of this issue, and are working on it. She also said she would/did reach out to ARCOS to let us all know that there was a lag time and kick out issue with Proctorio.

Hope this helps everyone !
