Ticket from Melissa Abbott - Proctoring/Kryterion

Hello! My name is Melissa Abbott and I work at Champlain Housing Trust. I was in the process of taking the HUD Housing Counselors Exam earlier today and I encountered technical difficulties and that stopped the exam and wouldn’t let me continue and finish the exam. I will now have to retake the exam because of these technical difficulties. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to do that today and if there was any way I would not have to pay the fee again because it was something that was out of my control that didn’t let me finish the exam.
