[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 99290, member: 7481"] Just in case of interest neither of my sons could log on at 9.50am yesterday for the Drafting exam. In the end they had to obtain the password from someone on the course and one of my sons could not even login to download the password protected paper due to BPP issues (our internet here was fine), so had to be sent that too by a friend (I think his twin was able to get the paper downloaded as he might have downloaded it the night before in some fashion). He said by 10.20am he still could not get in (he was constantly checking) so although there were 10 minutes allowed by BPP for the initial download etc and 5 mins at end to upload none of this is ideal and adds to stress. He was able to do the paper 10.50am to 12.05am, have the full hour and submit it but only because of those other measures. It sounds like BPP need to buy a bigger server or have more bandwidth for these times when everyone will be logging in at the same time. if they emailed a password protected paper the day before and then emailed people the password on the day may be that would be less likely to crash etc. I htink one of my sons did do some kind of download the night before of the paper as I had suggested and one of the instructions had recommended - perhaps that saved to his download files even though he could not open it until the password was issued the next day. I don't think the exam itself was too bad but the logging in, admin etc was not that great. Anyway it was fine in the end. Onwards and upwards to this week's two BLP exams and at least everyone now has experience of proctored exams, web cams, room sweeps etc for this coming week so that side of it should be less stressful.
