The title of this thread came up as I ended my 767 FO Exam. I'm extremely interested in knowing:

1) why it came up, and 2) what I attempted to access to cause it to come up in the first place.

Also, the exam could not be ended without backing out of the exam entirely... as in, I don't
think it was submitted.

Gary, your exam is there. I just saw it. You have to wait for 24hrs after the grading has taken place to retake the test if you failed. That's why you got the error.

Cheers!

Hi Gaston,

I got the error prior to grading the exam. In fact, I got the error just as I was trying to submit the exam. At that point in time, I knew it hadn't been graded yet. But I am glad to know it's at least in yall's hands now. smile

It's been a while since I've taken a test so I don't remember perfectly the details of the process; it also may be different now than it was back then.

It's possible you pressed the button to submit it twice. What the server might have seen at that point is you submitting your test, then a few seconds later submitting again, which would be against the rules since it was within 24 hours. That just my guess. Nevertheless, I can imagine that was disconcerting.

Good luck on the test.

PS On an entirely unrelated subject wink

I love your personal motto!

Hi Colin,

In the process of taking that exam, my pc appeared to freeze up for about 5 mins right at the start of the exam. Perhaps that had something to do with it. I was sorta panic-ing here, wondering what I could do to get the exam back. During that time, I was hitting everything short of ALT-F4 to get the screen back. After the exam screen returned, I resumed taking the exam, and then when I went to submit, I got the message I stated.

Re: personal motto
LOL If I'd had the room, I would have said, "If it weren't for failure, I'd have no success at all"... it's been the story of my life.

I got the same message when I took my 727 FO exam tonight. Maybe it was too soon after I took my 737 Captain's test
