So I just got an email from NASB telling me about the new security measures that prometrics will start “enforcing” on October 15th.. all I can say is: “seriously people wearing camera eye glasses into the center is really a “thing”???”– and why can’t I seem to get one of these “pirated exams” that must be floating around from all of these eyewear, jewelry and hair accessory camera wielding geniuses …. ha ha ha (the one for BEC would be particularly great 🙂 )

And they ask me why I drink

Accounting must be full of cheaters. Even at my old college, the professors wouldn't let us keep our graded exams. They'd pass them out and collect them a few minutes later, claiming that they had not put the grades into the grade-book yet.

It's funny you should mention that circadian malfunction, I had the same experience with my accounting instructors as well. We had to staple our notes to our exam (if note were allowed) so that he could inspect them to make sure that no one had the same notes.

@GitRDone2017 essentially beginning on the 15th prometrics will be asking to inspect your eyeglasses, hair accessories and jewelry for hidden cameras… as if the feel up / pat down wasn't thrilling enough 🙂 I can't wait to have my glasses stretched out and fingerprinted up and my hair hanging in my face…

@circadian my profs all did the same ha ha ha … I guess we are a bunch of cheaters!

@claudia- I just can't understand why- I mean its not like you are going to get the same exam as someone else- content wise you could just break the rules and say there were X # of questions on this topic or that… why go to the trouble of taking photos- and clearly the person(s) doing it can't be legit candidates because it seems like it would take too long to photograph each and every question… I just don't get it….

People are always going to find a way to cheat. When I went back to school in 2014 to get my accounting credits, more than half the class had copies of the test banks that were used for the exams. It wasn't fair to anyone who didn't have a copy since most exams were curved. The professors were too lazy to switch around the answers or change the numbers.

I saw some blatant cheating in my non-accounting business classes. Like whispering between 3 girls, the entire time during the final exam. I almost ratted them out, I was so pissed and it was really distracting.

The accounting professors were more on the ball it seemed. They wouldn't just like read a book or whatever during the exam. They would walk around the class or sit at their desk and just stare at everyone. The multiple choice questions were in a different order depending on what version you got.

There was actually one professor who caught on and switched up the second exam. I remember looking around the class and seeing everyone look at the test like it was in a different language lol.

@mckan514w you took the words out of my mouth. I read the email, and I'm like “Really…?” You brought up a good point, is it a legit candidate that might've committed this forbidden action? Does the benefit really outweigh the cost/consequence of being caught? I just don't get it either. To get to the point of being approved to sit for this infamously difficult exam, and to possibly throw away all that effort, time, and money for committing an act like that is beyond me. I agree, it sure would be a lot of effort to take pictures during the exam. I don't discount the possibility of something like this happening, but really…?

As if the study preparation and exam experience isn't already stressful. The testing security procedures are borderline airport security measures. I use glasses too, so I guess I now have to get used to my glasses being examined with due diligence and professional care on exam day. I'm not trying to be sarcastic but these new measures just take the cake.

@RE2PECT

You don't even know! I remember there was this girl who got a PERFECT score and she was asked to do a problem on the board. Then she started to pretend that she didn't speak english since she was a foreign student.

This is why you make the tests MC with some SIMs.

This may or may not be standar, but at my prometric, we're already fingerprinted: (5 of them), wanded, pull up pant legs, pull out pockets and photographed. Oh and you're on camera and you're watched through glass window.
If you go to restroom, you get wanded and fingerprinted again, five prints.
You can bring glasses and earplugs but no cases for them. No gum, food, drink or cough drops. I know everyone has been a room with an exam cougher.
I don't understand the added security.

[hasy]

@Estimated.Pro

I completely understand you. That's how I'm checked at my prometric too and I thought that was way too intense. I've learned that I need to pass this next one so I never have to endure this entire set-up. Though, to be fair, it's not just CPA exam takers. There's also people taking their boards there and there are higher stakes there.

Well, the added security is for those who attempt to cheat or cheat for their friends. it's really sad what things are coming to, the test is already long enough, costs too much, the security measures that exist are already to the point of violating. But what can we do? if we want to be CPAs we'll have to endure all of the above. :-(. The blessing is PASSING for crying out loud.
