Hi ChewChew - Hate the fact that you were dismissed as well, but at least you have plenty of company. Sounds like many us will at least file a complaint with Maryland DLLR (assuming you were at Maryland), just to let them know what happened. If you go on the Maryland DLLR website/Professional...

Hindsight is always 20/20... but if it was indeed a rule change for this test cycle, I'm not sure why they couldn't have made it clear that an additional (quite popular) device has been added to the prohibited list or at least put out some kind of memo/notice that fitness trackers have been...

Hey! No doubt in my mind that Nazrul will help with October.  I sent him an email immediately when I got home last Friday. He actually gave me his number to call him to discuss.. haha. We had a 30 min convo. He was shocked as well. As a side note, Nazrul is such an amazing teacher that I...

Looks like he was from Maryland as well...

3rd party - PCS.  I also just found that that Maryland Department of Licensing - back in Nov. 2013 - requested that NCEES grade the exams of people who were dismissed due to pencil notes in reference materials because of lack of proper notification.  This really, really could get interesting.... 

What!??? Were you in Maryland? Someone actually said one of the proctor told her yes and was allowed to return? I mean, good for her!... but talk about just a complete clusterf*** in terms of administering an exam!

I gave myself the weekend to vent, to relive the moment when the chief proctor asked me if I was wearing a Fitbit and to follow him. Once Monday rolled around, bought myself a couple of lottery tickets, and hope that my luck's turned. While we are to blame, there's definitely some element of...

You were dismissed as well? Hang in there. I feel for you. 

Thanks! Gotta be positive. Like someone had said, look at it as the best practice one can get.  @Structures lucky!! haha.

it was a charge HR. 

Of course not!. By all means, please discuss. The goal of this thread was first and foremost to bring awareness to fitness trackers being on the ban list to future examinees, I wouldn't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else. I've accepted that the examinee (in this case, me) should...

My thoughts are that they realized that they should have communicated to examinees prior to the exam regarding Fitbits.  When they neglected to - I'm guessing that they were debating internally whether or not to start kicking people out. My guess is that they realized that this could...

They certainly were old. haha. There was one that I distinctly remember thinking - what if he had a heart attack during the exam!!?? - would all of our results been invalidated.  I'd say you were lucky that other places made an announcement beforehand. I certainly would have thrown mine away if...

My thoughts exactly...

The announcements that they made prior to the exam specified non-approved calcs and cell phones.  I actually saw a few raise their hands to give the proctors their cells phones and calculators. But no announcements regarding fitness trackers.

Thanks for the support. At this point, I'm just hoping that they'll let me sit for October Exam. It'll just make it soooo much sweeter when I pass the exam! Honestly, I was fairly confident that I passed the April Exam. So it just sucks that this happened. But again - no one to blame but...

Hey guys,  Unfortunately, I was one of the unlucky few that was dismissed from the Exam during the PM Session with about one hour left in the Exam for having a Fitbit.  Based on the number of Fitbits that was confiscated, I estimate at least 10 that were dismissed. No one to blame but myself -...
