The TOEFL test I took is the home edition because test centers in my city are shut down due to the pandemic (yes, the place I am in is still fighting Omicron). I prepared everything I need that ETS official sites and some online blogs told me. My reserved test time began at 13:00 pm, and I entered the test session in time to make sure I would not miss the check-in due. But I encountered an obstacle even before I started my exam — I could not connect to the exam proctor! In a panic, I kept login into the ProctorU application several times but failed. Eventually, I changed my internet by turning on my VPN and finally connected to one proctor, and then started the exam.
