Title: Quiz is now Pay-4-Play
Post by: Rennhack on Apr 24, 2016, 06:54
The Online practice tests have been broken and fixed a few times in the last few weeks as we migrated to our new server, and upgraded our software.  I was really worried that we would not be able to adapt the quiz software to the new environment.  However, we have been successful, and all of the changes are now behind us. (The software still uses 'Flash' technology, which means that devices like iPhones don't support it natively, and need an aftermarket flash plugin installed. -- Someday we will work on fixing that.  But that requires a lot of money, and a developer.

With all of that work, another change was made.  We now require that you become a Gold Member to use the NukeWorker online practice tests.

Why did we do that? 

In order to allow our practice tests to remain online, we feel that we need to protect it with a pay-wall.  This prevents abuse.  And the potential threat that we be required to take it offline permanently.  Those of you that have used it, know what I mean.

In the near future, I'm adding more questions.  For example, some DOE Part II questions (19 more quiz's), and an update to the old DOE Part I questions.  This developement takes time, and I have to decide how to prioritize my time.  This will help it rank higher in priority.

The additional funding may also help us develop a version that works with iPhones.

That kind of null and voids the premise of free online quiz, doesn't it? I have been using these series of quizzes to prep for my core exam. I am dead in the water now!!!! >:(

Charles,

You don't HAVE to be dead in the water now. (https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=subscriptions)  I just spent thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours fixing the broken quiz's so that you COULD use them if you choose.  You can choose to use them for about a dollar a week (15 cents a day).  (https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;area=subscriptions) That is a much better choice than the other choice we were facing, which was to leave the quiz software broken.

The facility info section is still broken, but I'm working on that.

Hi there.  I know I'm getting necro on this thread, but I'm not sure where else to post and this seems as good a place as any.  How long does it take to accept payment?  I paid for the membership, but I can't access the tests.

If nothing goes wrong, it's instant.

I have no record of a payment from your email address.  Email me a copy of your order receipt.  Or what email address you used for payment.

It looks like your transaction completed, and you were upgraded.
