Digital Quagmire from failed flash drive
I am a long time user of Pearson Clinical products. I bought a full test kit (print version) for the WIAT-4. For whatever reason, Pearson included as a part of that full kit a flash drive that contains multiple important documents needed to administer and score the test (e.g., technical/interpretative manual, audio administration files, various scoring worksheets). That flash drive cannot be read on any of the computers that I have tried, giving the message either to format or eject the drive. I was on the phone with Pearson customer service for over an hour and spoke to at least 4 representatives, but the hang up now is that the flash drive is no longer produced and they cannot send a replacement. Furthermore, they cannot verify what digital files were included. They were able to to upload 2 items onto my Q global to access, but not the worksheets for scoring. I wound up having to purchase digital scoring anyway so that I can complete the scoring. As a consumer, it is hard for me to fathom why after paying $750 for a full print kit and asking specifically for all materials to be printed rather than digital, parts of the kit was shipped digitally and when that flash drive failed, the other items cannot be loaded onto my Qglobal account.
