When I asked for a fraction of time , sales person told it's not possible. My case was I needed about 11 hour time slots. I told xxxxxxx company provides such facility but IPX told they are training candidates for 8 hour slots & their timeslot period was designed for this purpose.
One support guy was kind enough to give me few hours extension at the end of session (if there are enough free racks for next session). I appreciate his help. But other support guy needed one additional voucher even if I ask to start my session 2~3 hours before start time. (eventhough this approach can earn some extra money from pressurised candidates , in long run it's not good for vendor) (I needed additional hours to check everything very well & findout my mistakes before the exam ; definitely nobody can spare 16hours continuously) This is my experience with Proctorlabs On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 7:34 PM, Rob Pool <[email protected]> wrote: > Nick, > > > I bought my End-to-End solution in Oct 2010 and was told by my sales > person that they were working on a 4 hour time slot at that time.
