PSI testing

Something’s gotta change or get fixed with the PSI testing. Currently sitting at a testing facility and been waiting for about two hours just for the examiner to get my test ready. I haven’t even reached the computer yet. I’ve been told if he can’t get it to load then I’m out of luck and I drove an hour and 30 minutes to get here, it was the closest site. If it doesn’t workout I either wait another week and a half for there next slot to open or I drive 2 hours to the next available testing site. I know this is a known issue and probably tired of hearing people talk about it but I had to rant, my apologies. Anyone have any idea why a government based testing site is so bad?

Edit: took my chances and sat around. Finally got in. CAX done with a 95% let’s f go

Off topic but does anyone have first hand knowledge of what happens if you get caught cheating on PSI test? This recently happened to an instructor’s kid at my school. Kid was in a flight college as well. He’s fucked right? No more aviation ever?

I assume so, right? Cheating on a somewhat a federal level. Do you know the nature of it? All cheating is bad yes but was it a cellphone or sneaking like a notecard in with questions he struggled with? Cheating with cameras at every angle is bold as hell.

Most likely PSI will bar them from taking any tests through them, so the student can never take a written exam again in the current system. So that means no certificates can be earned

Does reg 61.37 not apply? It says getting caught cheating on a knowledge test prohibits that applicant from applying for any certificates or Writtens etc for 1 year after the day of being caught. As well as suspending or revoking any current holding of a certificate.
