I listen to music for motivation before and after studying but not during. I find it distracting regardless on the genre. But I have been trying to do my PTs in a library and with the proctorapp with distractions turned up.
Yeah I didn't like using the app for discussions since the notifications would never show up, but then they fixed that a few weeks ago so I've started using that and am now running into the problems you describe. Perhaps I'll switch to Safari.
This is a very common complaint after a test administration and is why I do my retake tests at Starbucks. I put my earbuds in to hear the proctorapp, but it's still very distractions. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Are you using the app? If so I would suggest using Safari on an iPad and logging into 7Sage through there, it is much more consistent and I've never had an issue that way.
That's a good strategy but don't become too obsessed with it! The 7sage proctorapp allows you to choose a limit of up to 28 mins per section so give that app a go if you haven't already :)
