  • 1.  Bug in the completion menu for Exam Part 2

    Posted 03-18-2025 01:06 PM

    Hi everyone,

    I took my Exam Part 2 in February 28th. I just want to discuss if someone experienced the same, when I was doing the MCQs it said i was 85% complete, I double checked and all MCQs have been answered. So all 100questions have an answer at least. Even though, i always thought that it should say 100% complete and then move on to the essays. When i move to the essays, the completion bar move to 89%… then 100% finally. But I just found it so strange, i also felt i finished the MCQs with a lot of extra time left than I expected. But based on the system, all of them have been answered. Did anyone experience something similar? Any moral support is appreciated :D

    I had a problem with the progress bar too! If kept showing me with many fewer completed than I had done. As a result, I felt panicked for about 2 hours of the test until I figured out that the progress bar was not counting in the "flagged" items. At least that I what I thought it was doing. I wrote at the end about it.

    I was so far behind after one hour, according to the bar, that I felt panicked, and started rushing through, and putting flags on a bunch of them since I was moving so quickly. At the end of the second hour, I was even more behind. I thought to myself, "How can I be that behind?" So, then I counted how many I had not answered and found out that I had maybe 26 MC left in the final hour, and had time to do them, even though the progress bar said I had much more to do. 

    I am not sure it if the instructions something about the flagged items not going into the progress bar or not, or maybe that was not the problem, but something was wrong with the progress bar, and it caused me undo stress because then I was rushing. I took two review classes, and there was no mention of flagged items being the in the progress bar. 

    As a result, I don't know if I passed or not, but if I didn't, it would be partly due to the progress bar working the way it did.

    Once all the MCQs are completed, the progress bar will show 90% completion. This might be confusing for first-time users, as the remaining percentage may not match the exact number of questions left. For example, if only 25 questions remain, the progress bar will display 28% instead of 25%. After the essay section only will be shown100%

    To avoid confusion, I always guide users not to panic when seeing the progress bar. I recommend using the shortcut view on the left side to track the remaining MCQs more accurately.
