yeah but they just send things like your pulse or step counts...not an audio or visual recordingMost communicate via bluetooth or wifi with your phone.

yeah...so do atomic watches which aren't banedDoesn't matter. They still have communication capabilities.
My thoughts are that they realized that they should have communicated to examinees prior to the exam regarding Fitbits.Seven hours in seems like an awful time for them to realize they need to kick you out.
I get that they don't want anyone stealing exam questions, but NCEES is a couple steps away from TSA.
There's no doubt in my mind after what I witnessed on Friday - 310% agree.NCEES should do a better job of training their proctors.
not all states use ncees to proctor. IL doesn't. The states that use pcs probably don't have ncees proctors either.NCEES should do a better job of training their proctors.
Well this all stems from "the pencil" incident .... where some brilliant peeps made some pencil that sent the questions to the home base in Sioux City, Iowa then home base beamed back the correct answer.given todays technology whos to say how a determined individual might try to compromise the exam. Bottom line is that they specifically prohibit the latest technological devices except for the exam approved calculator and trust that the examinees are capable of complying with the rules. It sux that @Andrew2288 got bounced but it's a violation and they caught him. Unfortunate but rules is rules.
When did this happen?Well this all stems from "the pencil" incident .... where some brilliant peeps made some pencil that sent the questions to the home base in Sioux City, Iowa then home base beamed back the correct answer.
I get it ..... but they can **** off with kicking people out 7 hours into the exam.
Probably because there would be no way to determine if test material was communicated outside the examination room... by the device that is able to communicate. That's the entire point of the rule.I was at the Maryland exam, and I didn't even notice people getting removed. If it happened during the afternoon, i can't image why they wouldn't just tell those examinees that they were being "flagged" and NCEES would make a final determination on if their scores would count.
Didn't they say this happened with an hour left? At that point, I think they should just let you finish, and let NCEES decide what they want to do. The problem is, they should have done this during the morning exam, people wear these things on the wrist right? Sounds like the proctors were either A) Not told to check, or B) Didn't bother checking.Probably because there would be no way to determine if test material was communicated outside the examination room... by the device that is able to communicate. That's the entire point of the rule.
