Virtual Testing Expectations

This is a timed closed-book exam. 2.5 hours are allotted to complete the exam. A webcam-enabled computer is necessary. It is a monitored exam, and all movements are noted. The proctor will terminate your exam if necessary. The proctor monitors silently in the background.

It is best to test from a home computer/personal laptop not attached to an internal network (company server). Public Wi-Fi is ok, but it may run slowly. This could cause issues in the delivery of the exam.

You must have the ability to download a designated app that delivers the security check and the exam.

The proctor takes control of your workspace during the exam. If you are using your company computer, please verify with your IT department for security protocols.

On the day of your test, log in approximately 20 minutes before the start time of your exam. This allows the opportunity to download the required information and to check computer settings to ensure the secure delivery of your exam.

If the connection is lost during the exam, you and the proctor can log back in and pick up where you left off, there is no need to reschedule.
