Prometric Down?

Anyone else having trouble signing up for exams? I'm hoping this isn't a long term thing since I need to schedule my Second-Shot for next week before the end of June....

I scheduled a test on Saturday. So it could potentially be down for some work.

@Devilsbane: Oh yeah, it's all your fault!

It's backup but all the seats for June are filled....

I shouldn't be too surprised.

Try a different testing center. My last test I drove 400 miles across state lines and stayed the night in a hotel. Total cost was about $100, but that would still be cheaper than paying for a different test.

Plus I actually enjoyed it a little. I'm glad my next test is close to home, but it was a fun experience.

Prometric is really flakey, I have only ever managed to book/move or cancel 4 or so exams first time with them, all the others have taken a few hours waiting time. I can usually get as far as logging in and choosing an exam center and viewing my history but going any farther is just fail most the time.

+1 here... Last time I booked through Prometric it was a crap shoot. I ended up finally having to the call the customer support # and book over the phone because it would always just time out.. So frustrating.

Everytime except one I have found it takes forever to pull up a testing center. I decided to just open them all in a new tab and then I could browse around for the best time/date.

If I would have kept using back I could have been there all day.

Mine is in another country

it's not far actually less than 400 miles (I think it's around 350 KM) total expenses was 120$ but crossing the boarders takes some time because every day thousands of Syrian goes to Lebanon and vise versa.

But it's not less than my first every exam which was in Bellevue/WA (thousands of miles from here

)

Back to subject Prometric was down for me (from Firefox) but it worked fine from IE but now it's working OK.
