Question on Databricks Spark online proctored exam

[ironising84]

Some silly questions folks. I took online proctored Databricks spark certification couple of days back and my unofficial result was pass. I received a mail that it might https://speedtest.vet/ take upto one week to receive the certification, if awarded. During the exam I did drink water few times without realizing anything.

Later I checked the Kryterion’s https://showbox.tools/official site. For onsite testing it mentioned that food, drinks are not allowed but nothing mentioned for online proctoring. My question is did anyone face any issue if you drink water during the test? Also, how long it usually take to receive the official mail?

I took the Spark test, Jan 16 and it appeared I missed passing by one, but at the same time it said the score was unofficial and showed the following (which has not changed since I took the exam). Can you please let me know the status, or who to speak to about this?

better would have been to ask for permission before drinking. I can share my exp. My mobile alarm started buzzing during the exam, I requested the moderator, he then paused the exam and asked me to take my laptop to the mobile and then to switch off, he took another look at my surroundings and on reassuring then only re-started the exam.
