Got calls during citizenship test—will it be a problem?

[manchestercase]

Hi everyone,

During my citizenship test, I got a few WhatsApp calls on my PC. Each time, I clicked "reject" in less than a second and went right back to the test. Every time it happened, I got the pop-up saying "I’m back."

All of these interruptions were super quick (like half a second), just long enough to decline the call.

Is this a big deal? Could they make me retake the test? Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I haven't had a similar experience. I remember reading posts where tests were invalidated if the camera was interrupted. I don't use WhatsApp, I'm not sure if it interrupts your camera. I know when I receive a facetime call, it does switch my camera to facetime, even if another app is using my camera.
Short answer: If your camera feed was disrupted, it is likely that they will invalidate the test.

I don't know the answer and would say there's no way to know, frankly - I think it will just come down to the subjective impression of the officer checking it. Also no way @manchestercase can find out other than waiting.

But good advice to all others: TURN OFF other programs and potential interruptions for the time you take the test - it's less than 30 minutes isn't it?

Lol you kinda silly. Who takes their citizenship test without turning off all the notifications and social media apps. Humble request, please don't embarrass other immigrants once you get your citizenship.
