Random your expected to cheat and fail.. and TBH your suppose to sneak in a phone or something despite being asked to empty your pockets. the idea is to find out if they chuck you out-- which they do and you end up with a black mark against your name for the testing centre which is not so fun!

The pay problem was mainly for the test centres (because these are run by their US office) but I was paid after notifying them.
The tests are esy to do and "relaxing" but they are expecting you now to leave the room at least once and to attempt to cheat which may result in you getting kicked out if spoted. If a keen security guard didn't let you take anything into the room to start with then you're alright and free to spend the 3/4 of an hour actualy doing the test (the best part!)

I got caught cheating on the one I did, and frankly found the experience unpleasant, so haven't done any others. Mind you, I gave them a cracking report, as they were nice about it assuming that had made a mistake rather than being a dirty cheat.

I'm doing a competitor (with another company) with a much more realistic brief. i.e ask for help with something like adjusting the chair. Nothing that would get you chucked out haha. It does say to fail, but I suspect that's only 'cause they don't want you to get a free certificate.

Me too, it wasn't a nice experience. You have to sneak something in in your pocket then use it in the exam. It wld be humiliating if you knew anyone in there at the time. Thankfully I didn't though it was busier than expected. And as everyone will know (cause I moaned so much ) they took ages and ages to pay me. Haven't worked for them since.

If a mystery shop is available to me but the time period was from 05/01 to 07/01 but want to accept but do tomorrow. Is that possible or would it have to be done today even though that is not possible now?
