I passed Sitecore Certified Platform Associate Developer exam. There are a lot of posts in the internet that describes topics and question that are present on exam. This post is not about it, furthermore it is not allowed. It is about technical issues that you can face(and I faced) during passing online exam:
- Be very attentive to time that you select for exam. I selected 3 PM, but I got invitation on 2 PM. I was confused and was ready to pass it on 2 PM, but exam started at 3 PM. I think that this issue is related to daylight-saving time zones issue in http://webassessor.com system.
- You can't check Sentinel Secure software before running exam. You should have backup plan if something will go wrong with your software/hardware.
- Sentinel Secure software throws error on Windows server 2012
- Sentinel Secure software doesn't work with all webcams. (I assume that issue is present for 4k cams)
You can ask me how I faced with all of these issues during passing exam:
- I tried to start exam on 2 PM, but it was unavailable until 2:50 PM
- I started exam on my laptop, but exam software was not able to see video from my camera. Video was black blank screen in application, however in other software camera worked as expected.
- I moved to machine with Windows server 2012 R2 installed. I was not able even to start exam application. After checking system it wrote "Error" with one option: exit.
- I moved back to laptop and tried different camera and fortunately it started to work.
