      I am a student who booked the ****** Foundations exam through PSI Exams after being approved for the ****** Student Developer Pack. As part of this offer, eligible students are provided with a $49 discount, making the exam free of ********* checkout, the discount was successfully applied, and I received a confirmation email from *** showing a $49 discount and a total paid amount of $0.00. However, shortly afterward, I received a message from my bank showing that I had been charged $49 USD.This charge contradicts the confirmed invoice and the student offer terms. I immediately contacted PSI Customer ********************** at ************************** but have not yet received a resolution. I also escalated the issue to ******, as they are the source of the student offer.I am requesting a full refund for the $49 that was charged in error and a review of this issue to prevent it from happening to other students who trust the discount offer.Supporting Information:Test Taker ID: ****** Name: ***** ****** Booking platform: *************************************** Exam: ****** Foundations Confirmation email shows: $49 discount and $0.00 paid Actual charge: $49 USD (bank transaction)I am happy to provide screenshots of the confirmation email and bank transaction if needed.

      I am having tremendous difficulty with PSI customer ********************** both over the phone and email correspondence. This company handles testing for licensing, in my case it is licensure for estheticians. I paid for and scheduled the practical exam which was to be in *********, **-2 hours from my residence. The day of the test, there was a horrific accident on the interstate causing me to get stuck not moving in traffic for well over an hour. I called the customer ********************** number to let them know I wasnt going to make it on time to take my test, they told me Id have to book a new one and pay for it again in which I attempted several times that day. However, their website still reflects my original testing date with no option to remove, rebook or cancel. I have been in contact with customer ********************** numerous times and they tell me just to let it roll off. Over and over and over. This is the last thing I have to do to get my license so I can work, I have spent a fortune to get through school, not to mention that past 7 months, I have a job lined up but I cant do anything until I have my license and the longer these people keep on not doing their jobs providing assistance, the further away that job gets from me. I would greatly appreciate and support/assistance to get this resolved.

      Greetings,I was scheduled for a NJ Accident and Health Producer exam (Paid for in full) on April ******* at 4:30pm. I attempted to launch my exam at 4:02pm however the launch button was grayed out. I contacted *** about the issue. I was transferred 4 times asking me for the same lengthy verification information every time .I'm extremely frustrated at this point. I insisted to speak with a manager to address the problem because at this point I wasn't able to take my exam for the scheduled day and time unfortunately. I asked the manager how was I going to be compensated for loss of time, money and aggravation. He said to give him 24 hours to look into the situation and he'll get back in touch with me.

      I am filing a formal complaint regarding my experience with PSI/HiSET regarding my scheduled HiSET exam and the mishandling of my personal account information On 02/21/2025 I was unable to access my scheduled HiSET exam due to a server error on the organizations end. I immediately contacted ***/HiSET support and spent several days attempting to resolve the issue. Despite providing all necessary documentation, including detailed screenshots and communication records showing my prompt action, PSI/HiSET has refused to issue a refund or allow a free rescheduling of my exam.Additionally, I discovered that my date of birth was incorrectly entered in their system. I contacted PSI/HiSET on 04/23/2025 to have it corrected. After being told the issue was fixed, I checked my account and found the information was updated incorrectly. I had to contact them again and was informed it would take another 25 business days to attempt a second correction. This repeated mishandling of my personal information raises significant concerns regarding their administrative competence and customer ********************** practices.I have communicated clearly with PSI/HiSET and warned them that if my reasonable requests (a refund or free rescheduling and proper correction of my account information) were not met, I would escalate this matter to outside authorities. Despite this, they have chosen not to resolve the issue.Given the financial, emotional, and educational burden caused by PSI/HiSETs actions, I respectfully request that appropriate action be taken to investigate and hold the organization accountable for:Failure to deliver the purchased testing service,Mishandling of personal identifying information,Refusal to offer reasonable customer resolution.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      *** holds the records for a test called the ***** that is used to test out of high school early with a diploma. I took the test and graduated years ago. I have submitted all forms and paid for a certified letter showing proof of graduation so I can enroll in college. several months ago. I even paid extra for expedited service, online email service at that. So where is it? *** will not respond to my emails. Every time I call by phone I am forwarded to an out of country call center that tries to bill me again before telling me they have no information about me. They take my information and urge me to wait for a call back. Nobody has ever called back. Ive done this at least 5 times. I have receipts and emails and call logs to verify all of this. Because of them I will not be able to enroll in the nursing program and may have to wait an entire year to apply again. A review of Reddit forums shows there are people who have been waiting YEARS with nothing. This is messing up peoples lives. This is fraud. And the state is contracting them to do this. I want my proof of graduation. As far as the world is concerned I never graduated high school and my whole life is in limbo because of it. Somebody needs to hold these people accountable

      I was unfairly kicked out of NYS ***** Exam because a widget popped up on my screen as I was attempting to answer a question. I wasn't even given a chance to try and close it or contact the ******* to try and let them know what happened. 04/22/25 @ 2:00PM EST. The ******* was being very difficult with me as I had to show my work area multiple times where I believe once should have been sufficient. This was my second attempt at taking this exam. My original was scheduled for 04/11/25 @ 2PM EST. That time I couldn't get the page to load as it kept saying Site Cannot Be Reached. They should take into consideration that not everyone has a PC to take it in. I had to use my Windows based tablet and being touchscreen and me not having small hands it is somewhat difficult to navigate. I want a refund of both test fees as neither one was in my control of what happened. Got screwed out of the chance of possibly starting work soon as I've been Unemployed since 05/31/24.

      On 4-9-25 I took my real estate exam with PSI online proctored testing. Two sections, national and state I had so many technical difficulties before and during the test. At one point in the middle of my test I had to call technical support, and my ******* viewing me through the camera told me they would pause my test. Technical support offered no help after being on the phone for nearly 40 minutes. When I got off the phone, my ******* unpause my test, and my clock had been running the WHOLE TIME. I had 2 MINUTES AND 30 SECONDS to finish my national portion. Luckily I was able to finish both sections and submit. When finished, I did not receive my scores immediately following. I called technical support again, and they told me to wait 24 hours. 24 hours later, I got the result for the national portion and passed, and now I am waiting on my state portion. It has now been 15 days with no results or any resolution to my issue. Everytime I call them, they refuse to let me speak to a supervisor.I got an email a couple days ago, saying my test results were in, and I opened it and it said I passed my COSMETOLOGY exam. Mind you, I took the REAL ESTATE EXAM, and have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 10 years.The email with the passing score for the wrong exam included the selfie I had to take for the REAL ESTATE exam, to prove my identity. I called them today and they have no answers for me. I need my test results, because without them, I am not able to start my new job.I have read many reviews with people having the same experience with this PSI testing. Employees are no help, they need better training. They should not be who ******** requires you to test through, since the whole organization seems incompetent.

      I am writing to formally request a review and reconsideration of my recent experience with the *** Phlebotomy exam on April 15, 2025, proctored by ***.Due to a technical issue during the exam, I was removed from the platform. The *** ******* then gave me the option to troubleshoot or reschedule. I chose to reschedule, not knowing that this would forfeit my exam fee, as the consequences were not explained at the time. I was overwhelmed and not aware that this choice would be irreversible.Despite my efforts to explain that I made this decision in good faith, *** support has denied my request without further discussion or support. I am now being asked to pay again for an exam I never got the chance to complete.I am respectfully asking for a one-time courtesy waiver or reschedule, as I believe this situation was mishandled and unfairly penalizes me for a miscommunication that occurred during an already stressful situation.I am willing to retest at a PSI testing center as recommended.

      I checked in early for a proctored exam, passed all the technical tests, waited 30 min for the ******* to authorize me and let me in. I got on help chat, finally got in, then was booted off due to connection issues (not of my own, I have the fastest internet you can get). After 30 min if you dont check in youre considered late. Even though I sat there 45 min. They told me I had to reschedule and PAY again! I had another test today.. two days later.. SAME thing happened! I got on the phone with them.. basically they said I have to reschedule and PAY AGAIN. Do NOT schedule a proctored test. Especially if youre on a tight schedule. I wasted two hours of my life which I dont have time for. And money. Not sure where to go from here. I contacted the state board for my test to see if I can drive the 5 hours to go take it there. Because Id rather do that. Terrible company with horses*it customer **********************. Dont waste your time or money.. demand from your state boards that they endorse a different testing company.

      I needed to take my national and state real estate exam through ***. This is the second time I have taken the test, but unlike the first time I took a proctored test online. The first time I took the test was at a testing center and they allowed me to use a scratch tablet for work and a calculator. The online proctored exam said a calculator and scratch notepad would be provided in the system. As I was taking the exam I noticed the calculator was not there and when I tried to get assistance I was told that they only knew little information regarding the test and if it did not show up when I was on a question that needed it, then I was not allowed to use one. Also, the notepad that was provided through the website did not work. It was just a blank white screen. I would like to know why I am allowed to use these in person but not online. The testing standards should be the same for both, or the differences clearly specified, especially when there are questions on the test that require a calculator or scratchpad for calculations. To the best of my memory there were at least five of these questions on the test and without a calculator or working scratchpad there was no other option but to guess at the correct answer. My ideal outcome for resolution would be a refund of the testing fee; however, being allowed to retake the exam at no additional cost would also be acceptable.

      Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your concerns. We understand how frustrating this situation has been, especially with the technical difficulties you encountered during your exam.
      After reviewing the details, we can confirm that the online tools, including the calculator and whiteboard, were available to you during the test. We also understand your frustration with the differences between in-person and online testing environments. Please note that the rules for online proctored exams are different, and only the digital calculator and whiteboard are allowed in this format.

      I am rejecting this response because: This is completely false! I notified the ******* during the test, they proceeded to bring in technical support and the technical support person did not help much. All they said was "if one does not come up on a question that is supposed to have one, then you cannot use one".  I did not have a calculator for any question that needed one and it did not pop up like I was told it would by the technical assistant. When I took the test before, that was in person, I could use the calculator, notes sheet, and amortization table. Also, like I stated, the notes sheet provided through the online website was a completely blank white screen, I could not write or type on it. Lastly, I did not have an amortization sheet to complete the questions that needed me to figure out mortgage rates. Neither the ******* nor the tech person brought into my chat could help. A reputable company concerned about their reputation would make this right for the customer!

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
