Hi,
I’m due to sit my OCS in May, just wondering what everyone’s views are on Case Study online at home and if anyone has sat one at home and one in a test centre and any pros/cons? I’ve passed E1/F1/F1 at home over the last 9 months or so and planning to sit OCS at home in May just worried about connection issues at home for a 3 hour exam as never sat an exam this long at home.

I am in the same situation. But I’m hoping the Exam Centres will be open again by May.Also, my Online course with Kaplan won’t start until the end of March. Is there anything I should/could be doing in the meantime?
Thanks! 🙂
February 28, 2021 at 3:25 pm #612144HI. I had my OCS at home. Not by choice- it was a lockdown, so the only option avialable.
You can never really be 100% sure- I think I would rather have it in a test centre if I had a choice.
My exam was going ok until about 10 minutes before the end. My screen froze for about 2 seconds and the proctor’s window came up asking me if everything is ok. I said yes and he wanted me to move my laptop around to show what I have around me and on the table. At the end I was ok to continue. I lost like 2 minutes because of that and trust me- on OCS every minute counts. I don’t know if it was my laptop or connection. LAptop is quite new and I had it connected to the router via cable to avoid connection issues as much as possible. - AuthorPosts
