This exam is proctored, which means that your attempts will be recorded and analyzed by an automated platform.
You may be BLOCKED from beginning the exam if:
Your computer is plugged into an external monitor.
You do not have a working microphone.
You do not have a working webcam.
You are not ready to submit a photo of your face via webcam for a facial ID.
You do not have a photo ID on hand (a record of this ID may or may not be requested, depending on your session details)
Your exam session will be uninterrupted but may be FLAGGED for future review if:
Anyone else appears on camera in your environment (you may wish to close any open doors).
Your phone or other devices are nearby or accessed during the exam session.
A restroom break is allowed, but leaving your desk may also flag your exam session for future review.
While this is an open-book exam, you are ONLY allowed to use specific resources and must abide by the exam’s anti-cheating rules (see our open-book policy). If a rule is violated during the exam session, your exam session will remain active. However, that moment in the recording of your exam will be flagged and reviewed afterward. If we determine that a violation has occurred, your current certification status may be invalidated. You may also be disqualified from earning or holding a certificate indefinitely.
We know how important it is that the exam stays as secure as possible. Proctoring allows us to maintain the integrity of this exam for the benefit of the entire community by ensuring no one passes the exam through cheating. You can read more about our open book and anti-cheating proctoring policies above.
