My experience with Examity has been extremely frustrating. This platform not only drains your wallet but also wastes your precious time. The instructors’ language proficiency is abysmal, making it nearly impossible to comprehend their instructions. Furthermore, their communication lacks professionalism and respect.
To add to the misery, it’s evident that the platform is plagued with technical issues. I had to switch browsers due to numerous bugs, and at one point, I was stuck for a painful 30 minutes before I could even start my exam. The overall testing environment is subpar, and it feels like they haven’t invested in better equipment, including microphones.
edit: the support literally called me for a zoom call just to hang up on me later

Your description of Examity pretty much hits the nail on the head. It’s not just frustrating; it’s expensive, time-consuming, and confusing as heck. And don’t get me started on the language proficiency thing – I’ve been there, trying to decipher what the proctor was saying and feeling like I needed a decoder ring.
Switching browsers because of bugs? Been there. Staring at a screen for half an hour, waiting to start the exam? Done that. The technical issues are like a never-ending saga, and it’s baffling how they haven’t sorted them out.
As for that support Zoom call that ended in a hang-up, I’m pretty sure that qualifies as a comedy skit in the “How Not to Provide Support” handbook.
But hey, it’s good to know we’re not alone in this, right? Misery loves company, they say. Let’s hope MongoDB takes note of our collective woes and helps make things better.
edit: just made a post about my experience.

thank you for this , and i really wish you take this seriously for better user experience for the future mongodb learners
We absolutely will. We do not want our candidates to have a negative testing experience.
Thank you.
I had to reschule twice regarding the name. Both the support team and the proctors are terrible. I have never had a worse exam experience in my life. Worse, I couldn’t even take the exam.
@Yusuf_Caglar I am sorry to hear about your poor testing experience. I will reach out to you privately to discuss further. Thank you!
Just wanted to add my poor experience also, though we all understood clean desk policy, in spite of scanning the work table in live camera with no items, I was forced to open the table drawers which is not even closer to me. This is bed side table was not connected to my work table. That too these kind of annoying activities during minutes before exam kinds irritates !!
