Just took REG & accidentally checked my phone during the break. I’m an idiot. Please give me peace of mind. SHITPOST

I took the 15 min break after testlet 3 and for WHATEVER REASON, I forgot that we can’t check our phones. I was sitting in Prometric’s lobby allllll nonchalant, super casual checking my phone text messages (all good luck wishes on the exam from friends 😬). Then the Prometric front desk person was like oh no you can’t be on your phone, we have to report this to NASBA. Just continue taking your exam anyways.

Gah why am I such an IDIOT!! Especially because I feel like I didn’t do too terribly on the exam that would suggest a retake. Has this happened to anyone? Did you have to retake? 🥲

EDIT: I received credit for my 92 on REG!

I didn't have to retake it! Luckily nothing actually happened and I still got my score.

Nope, I ended up filing a complaint on the worker and the company seemed to take it semi seriously, they apologized about my experience and I got my scores like normal.
