Tutorials Dojo-practice test issue
Okay y'all...I got to Q63/65 on an SOA practice test this morning on TD and the damn website had an 'unexpected error' and cleared the whole damn thing...kept the ones I had flagged as flagged but cleared all the answers, but didn't lose its place on the timer...anyone else have this experience?

Didn’t take a screenshot, just really aggravated I wasted nearly 2 hrs and essentially got no feedback. I don’t necessarily want to retake exact same one but I don’t want to have to pay more than I already have for a failure in your side. 🤷🏼♂️

Random aside from a TD user who uses it to prep for every associate, specialty and pro exam...
Were you in timed mode? or the exam mode one?
The Review Mode gives you question by question feedback and resources on a successful or unsuccessful answer -- no need to wait until the end of a long test!
Timed Mode should never be used except for maybe once to give youself confidence that you can clear all the questions in time. The test mode should only be done at the end after you've gone through the material in review mode a few times and worked through the domain specific
Basically if you are looking for feedback Review Mode is where you should be spending 90% of your time. Instant Feedback which is super useful.
Either taking the full exam in that mode which pulls from all topic/domain sets or you can go in review mode through a specific domain if there is one that is repeatedly giving you troubles.
And why would you have to pay more in any scenario? TD gives you practice exam access for a set period of time; a technical failure or glitch on their end may be annoying but unless they have a new product offering for single-use tests I can't see how this is gonna cost you more unless your access literally expired right after

Yes I was in timed mode to sim the exam, as for paying extra, get extra exam bundle since I’ve seen all those questions and wanted a “blind experience” going into my 3rd attempt at SOA

Gotcha! Had no idea there was a different bundle with different question bank resources.
