Disconnects & Service Disruptions

If you experience a disruption of your Internet service while you are testing, you should be able to re-enter the test you started. If you have begun a test, but not completed or scored it, you should still be able to have the test scored. Once you re-establish your connection to the Internet, reconnect to proveit.com and log in again with your Test Session ID. Select the test that you had started prior to losing your Internet connection. In most cases, you should be able to re-enter the test at the point at which you lost connection without any loss of data or progress. However, due to the nature of some tests whose questions must be answered in one sitting and in a sequential order (such as Typing or Data Entry tests) you may have to begin your test again from the first question.
