Congratulations! You're now in the group with the rest of us...mec wrote:They sent the password and it WORKED. The receipt said I got all the test questions right and that it had been transmitted. Now, to see what other requirements might crop up.
I agree. What should we do about it?Crossfire wrote:SJF - YOU know the test is there. I know the test is there.
But, what about all the instructors who don't read the forum? Where in your renewal paperwork did you see anything about the test? Are you sure it is required? How do we know?
So many questions... so little info from DPS...
Are you asking me? I knew the test was there, but didn't know that the instructor's password unlocked it. We were told last year (at instructor's school) that the renewal test was going to be online "soon". Certainly DPS has done a "lovely" job of getting that information out there, though there has been much discussion of it here on this forum. I'm not defending DPS, just answering some of mec's questions/complaints. I have a few complaints about DPS myself, but divorcing myself from DPS seems like "cutting off my nose despite my face".Crossfire wrote:So, how are we supposed to know that we need to complete the written test when NOWHERE in the renewal documents is there any mention of the test?
The password was given out when you passed the instructor's course. The test is online, and there is nothing you need do to "submit" it, other than take it online. It will be scored after you take it (online) and you'll immediately be informed of the results. You can print out the notification if you want it for your records.mec wrote:no were in the material they sent me-the renewal notice or on the online application /payment page did they even mention the existence of a test. Twice, I have requested the courtesy of an e-mail clarification of just what they might want but this has not been answered. I reached the agency by telephone and had the existenct of a test confirmed to me.
Since I have not ordered certificates in some time, I do not have the password they are requesting for access to the test. Nor do I have any information about how to submit the test to them. I have requested these items via e-mail but am growing more and more convinced that I want nothing more to do with this agency.
Is this the same test they've been using? The same test we give the students?MoJo wrote:sjfcontrol wrote:Test Taken???MoJo wrote:Paper work done, checklist mailed, test taken and maxed! Now the wait begins.

"Online instructor renewal exam"
Use your instructor password, take the test, your score will appear at the end. It's sent to the proper DPS folks according to the web-page. If you don't pass the test you get two more tries.

where did you see the online test?
I agree with all... this is confusing, but I think we may all be moving faster than DPS can. I am sure they'll come through in the end.
