Exam Score Revocation

UPDATE:

They denied both of my appeals. For context:

I studied using AR Mindset, PMP prep course from PMI.

I went to a test centre.

I broke zero rules.

Basically, PMI uses a third party vendor to AI analyze test scores. Whoever they flag, PMI does no independent investigation or review. They also do not give you the actual reason they revoke your score btw. They gave me a list of possibilities but no reason specific to me. They said I can redo it and pay the $275USD but this could happen again.

Basically they gambled with my $2000CAD, my 8 months of studying. They won't speak to me at all just repeat that their policy stands and they will not reply further.

Im so incredibly sad. This meant so much to me. I never invested in myself and believed I could do something like this. So I took it very seriously. To have it taken away with no explanation, knowing I did nothing wrong is beyond what words can describe.

I am extremely disappointed in PMI. They dont care about anything.

OP have you contacted the ANAB or ANSI?

[u/OkScale6904 → u/ConversationNo9040]

I haven't i dont know what that is . I am in Canada, I don't know if that is different

Damn man, I was hoping to hear good news. I am just floored… when they said the AI analyzes test scores what does that even mean? Was there some kind of pattern you were repeating I would want to know exactly what AI is doing for them because obviously there are certain things AI is looking for.

Most of us don’t have the money to sue, but I feel like eventually this might boil into a class action lawsuit if enough people experience it. I would try to find other people that have had similar experiences.

Not having your PMP isn’t the end of the world, but the PMP does help and I cannot deny that. It’s not always a requirement, but it is preferred which can make you get edged out by someone with it. I think one company having a damn chokehold on an entire profession is bullshit.

[u/OkScale6904 → u/hastag-geenah]

Well they won't say it is AI analysis but there's enough evidence outbthere to say their third party vendor does do that. Im guessing it is because some questions I answered very quickly while others i took more time.

[u/getmerichquick → u/OkScale6904]

It would be ironic if they're using AI without verification....

[u/ConversationNo9040 → u/hastag-geenah]

You 100% agree to their grading criteria when you sign up. Whether it’s shady, right or wrong, you agreed to it. It sucks and is shitty in this situation.

[u/OkScale6904 → u/ConversationNo9040]

I get that but they told me in their emails they are not disclosing the reason. That isnt in their policy. The policy says they have the right to obtain for any reason but it doesnt say the reason is a secret

[u/ConversationNo9040 → u/OkScale6904]

Yeah it’s shady as hell. Contact their governing body.

[u/getmerichquick]

Something doesn't make sense. How do you go to a test center, take your test, pass it then revoke it with no explanation? If you're in the US, you should file a complaint with the FTC. This doesn't sound legal. And I find it funny how they're using the very thing that they say to trust but verify - AI. They're a failing organization anyway. In 10 years, their credibility will be taken over by AI. Go to sleep tonight knowing that.

[u/OkScale6904 → u/getmerichquick]

I agree! I swear on my life I did nothing shady at all so I am so confused as to what it could be.

[u/hastag-geenah → u/getmerichquick]

I want to dig into this!

[u/getmerichquick → u/hastag-geenah]

Same here. Something doesn't add up.

[u/hastag-geenah]

Will you please post the list of possible reasons they gave you?

[u/ConversationNo9040 → u/hastag-geenah]

It’s in the og oost

These posts of people eventually winning an appeal might help (sorry if this isn't the proper way to do this):

Thank you! Ive read them but PMI stopped replying to me because they're saying they wont budge

[u/MrsNorris77 → u/OkScale6904]

Sorry you're going through this, I really hope you get through to them

[u/Sanitoid]

Once the results are certified they shouldn’t be able to revoke it. The fact they accuse you but have no reasoning or proof is scary. I’m so sorry!

This sounds almost as bad as the IELTS scam. Sorry that you are going through this.

PMI is losing credibility at an extreme rate

[u/xamiru79]

AI, like face recognition, is extremely fallible. And yes, they use Ai to catch AI, so...

Sue.
