Problems with online proctoring

Has anyone else had difficulties with online proctoring? When I took the 70-411 a couple months ago, I was all prepared to go in and take the exam and when I went to login, the Pearson Vue website was down. I ended up calling their tech support and spoke to someone in India. By the time they got it working, I missed the window to start the exam and they had to put in a work order with Microsoft and they contacted me a few days later to reschedule.
Fast forward to this evening. I had a 6:00 appointment to take the 70-412 and when I started the test, it was a Configuring Microsoft Sharepoint 2013 Exam....not the 70-412 exam. I called for the proctor and told him that this was the wrong test and he said he would have to cancel the exam and put in a work order with Microsoft, who would contact me in a few days. I rechecked my confirmation and I registered for the right exam....it was their screw up.
So this makes twice in just a few months that I psyched myself up to take the exam, stressed about it all day, then finally when it comes time to take the test, am unable to do so. Needless to say I am pissed at Pearson Vue and Microsoft for wasting my time.
Has any one else had similar experience? If you are thinking about taking an online proctored exam, don't!

I've only ever had delays for minutes with connection problems. Never anything as bad as what you have experienced.
Good luck for next time. -

I had a similar experience with taking ITIL foundation. Was psyched/stressed about the test and logged in etc, only to find out they didn't have me on the 'books'. grrNever let your fear decide your fate.... -

I wrote the 411 exam three weeks ago and had no trouble at all.. after waiting a few minutes for the proctor to come online and say hello, it was seamless:study: Office 365 70-347 / 698 later -

Ok, so I took the exam again tonight and again it said "Configuring Advanced Solutions of Microsoft Sharepoint Exam" when I went to go take the exam. However, this time I decided to start the test just in case it was really the right exam and just had the wrong title. Sure enough, it was the right 70-412 exam with the wrong title. What's weird is even my score report says 412 - Advanced Solutions of Microsoft Sharepoint. But I assure you it was the 70-412 exam. Attached is a screenshot of my score report.. So if anyone takes the 70-412, don't freak out, it is the right exam.

Damn, this is absurd. How come they did not review this title issue. I did online proctored twice and it was a positive experience so far. Good Luck.!

Thats funny. I just took my 70-332 (Advanced solutions of Sharepoint). But I've never online proctored - I always go to a center. Maybe next time I"ll try this.
