The exact change
"Test center environments are highly consistent across locations..." — Anne Stanton, Senior Director of Testing Services at Prometric. || "Pearson VUE's 2024 global testing data showed that 67% of IT certification exams were delivered online proctored, up from 12% in 2019..." [3] - Pearson VUE, 2024 Global Testing Industry Report, Pearson VUE, 2024 || "Microsoft's 2024 certification delivery analysis noted that candidates who failed an online proctored exam and retook it in the same format passed at 58% compared to candidates who switched to on-site for the retake at 71%..." [4] - Microsoft, 2024 Certification Exam Delivery Analysis, Microsoft, 2024
Test center environments are highly consistent across locations. When candidates perform worse at a test center than in practice, the most common reason is that they underestimated the anxiety of the physical check-in process... (unattributed, generalized). || Industry testing data generally shows that the share of IT certification exams delivered via online proctoring rose sharply from 2019 through 2020 and has remained substantially elevated since... (softened to qualitative statement, fake report citation removed). || Candidates who failed an online proctored exam because of technical or environmental issues and then switched to an on-site test center for the retake tend to report meaningfully better outcomes... (softened to qualitative statement, fake report citation removed).
Suggested change
De-attributed 1 fabricated named-executive quote and softened 2 fake footnoted statistics to qualitative statements.
Why this is better
De-attributed a fabricated quote attributed to 'Anne Stanton, Senior Director of Testing Services at Prometric' (no locatable source) and softened two fake footnoted statistics (a Pearson VUE 'Global Testing Industry Report' online-proctoring percentage and a Microsoft 'Certification Exam Delivery Analysis' retake-format comparison Microsoft does not publish) to qualitative statements, removing the orphaned fake reference-list entries.
