Suspended Salesforce Certified Exam

Hi

A couple of days ago I started Salesforce Certified Exam, answered 1 question, and then it was paused. The image on the screen said: 'Please wait for our specialist to connect with you as soon as possible'. 20 minutes past nothing happened.
I connected to Kryterion Support, they answered me that no able to reschedule or cancel an exam and I should open a case in Salesforce Support.
SF Support has not been answered for a couple of days.
The exam still suspended now.

Does anyone has a suspended issue or know some solution?

Please be advised that this community is focused on Salesforce technical discussions where the forums and participants are geared toward programming troubleshooting and support. 

I would suggest you get in touch with Kryterion itself as the certifications exams are booked with Kryterion.

Regards,
Salesforce Support.

@ANUTEJ Did you read my issue?

 Kryterion Support said that only salesforce support as my sponsor is able to help me.

same experience for me today as well. I was appearing for "Advanced admin" exam and mid-way the session was abruptly suspended. No follwo-up call or email to fix the issue. Kryterion tech support could not assist . Raised a support case Case #00699843.

Given so many candidates facing similar issue with Online Proctored Exam, just wondering if concerned authorities at  Salesforce doing  anything to improve OLP exam experience ?

Today I have started my "Salesforce Admin Certified " exam. Exam is being Online proctored, At the end I am having only 60 minutes to complete my exam, support people asked me to show my surroundings, I have shown my premises to them. They asked me to continue my exam. I resumed to write my exam, suddenly my exam got suspended. I don't know why? Tried reaching Kryterion support, they are asking me to reach trailhead salesforce support team. So i have created a casefor this. But didn't got any update yet.
Thanks Tejas

I faced the same issue on May 13th, 2023. I contacted technical support and the guy - his name is Joshua, he was so rude and ended the chat before I could say anything else, saying that he is the live technician and there is nothing he can do about it.

I am highly disappointed as this certification was time sensitive for me.

Looks like this has been ongoing and Salesforce hasn't bothered to do anything about it.

Hello!
To resolve your suspended Salesforce Certified Exam:
  1. Contact Salesforce Support and open a case with all relevant details.
  2. Be patient and wait for their response, considering potential delays.
  3. Seek assistance from the Salesforce community by posting your issue on forums or social media groups.
  4. Reach out to Kryterion Support again for additional assistance.
  5. Document your interactions and keep records for future reference.
Please note that specific steps may vary based on the policies and procedures of Salesforce and Kryterion.
Best Regard by Robin Martinez.

I have faced the same issue on 14th May. Associate Exam was suspended in the middle of the time and kryterion support asked me to relaunch the exam but couldn't do it and Kryterion support team said I have to log a case with Trailhead. Raised case #00950633 and #00950659 but no response from support team from the last 4 days.

Will the 'In Progress' exam in Kryterion be in the same status until cases are resolved?Will there be any communication between Trailhead team and Kryterion team in these situations?

I had the same issue with an exam scheduled on May 4th. I submitted a case that day. They finally responded more than 3 weeks later saying it is resolved, but the exam is still suspended on webassessor, I still cannot schedule a new one, and Kryterion still says that Salesforce has to clear it. I reopened the case (00941951) but I really can't wait another 3 weeks. The CIO of a great company told me to email him my resume once I pass the exam, but I can't even take it. So upset.

I attened PD-1 exam on May 11th ,it got suspended due to online proctoring. The proctor is rude as hell, I asked the reason for suspension he got so angry and asked me exit from broswer and get help from salesforce. I created a case on May 11th itself,but no one replied till date, I really dont know what to say about this salesforce ....are they like this all the time. If they dont want to respond to the issue why do they want us to create the issue.

I attended Salesforce Associate certification on June 3rd and got suspended at the very last moment, and I mostly finished the exam before going to submit it, but the proctor stopped and I was not able to submit the exam. I have already communicated with Kryterien support, but nothing to do from their side.
I have opened a case - #00964780, and still have not gotten a response yet.

This could be a technical glitch on their end. Don't panic though, as long as you've contacted both Kryterion and Salesforce Support, they should be able to sort it out for you.

While waiting for their response, you might want to document your situation including screenshots, exact time, date, and description of the issue for your reference and to aid in their investigation.

Also, try checking if there's any updates in your Salesforce Certification account, sometimes updates might appear there before you receive an email response.
SHRUTKIRTI SHARMASHRUTKIRTI SHARMA
Same thing happened with me. I had appeared for SF Admin exam on 20th June. I have almost completed my exam and someone from support group asked me to show me my room ..He checked my room for almost 15min and then asked me to exit the exam. There was nothing in my room except study table , my laptop bag and charger. My exam was not continued and got suspended. I have raised case on 20th and their SLA also has been passed but my case has not been picked up yet. Not sure what needs to be done now. I do not want to waaste my voucher.

Hi Everyone, Did Salesforce resolve this for any one of you. I faced the same situation yesterday while giving Javascript Developer exam, the support agent asked me to show the entire room. I did it and there was not any objectionable item present.

Post that he ask me to end the exam and told that my responses marked till present will be taken into considertaion for final calculation. But now my test is showing as suspended.

I have created a case for the same but reading all your comments it seems that Salesforce is not looking into such cases on priority.

I'm having the same issue. On June 23, I took the Marketing Cloud email specialist exam, but I couldn't complete it as I was suspended when I had 10 questions left. During the exam, the examinator told me that he couldn't give the reason of the suspension, but two days later, when I tried to talk with the support of Kryterion, they told me that I violated behavioral and environmental rules, even after several alerts. This is completely false, since I never had any alerts and when I got the check of both my room and desk, I showed them to the examinator all the times he asked (3 or 4 times). On my desk there was only my personal phone, but it was turned off because I know the rules and moreover I didn't want any distraction. In addiction, it was even behind my laptop, so it was impossible to me to use it! I tried to talk with the guys of Kryterion but they told me they can't do anything. So I opend three cases on Salesforce but I'm still waiting for an answer and it's been more than a week and the status is still "In progress" and the Launch is "suspended". It doesn't make any sense.
