When you download and use our testing software, it will lock down your desktop or laptop from certain applications to ensure a secure testing environment. This includes programs such as screen capture tools, instant messaging, video conferencing, and any other applications that allow communication with the outside world. Essentially, any software that could potentially interfere with the exam process will be restricted.
Once the software closes out all other applications on your device, it will take you through a system and webcam check to ensure everything is running correctly before you take your final exam. You will need to agree to the terms of use, show your ID, and record a 360-degree video of your area.
While taking your exam, you CAN NOT:
Due to the nature of on-demand testing, a proctor will record and review your testing session afterward. Once the exam begins, you can focus on the test - your webcam will be monitored, but you won't need to worry about it. After completing the exam, you will submit it and close out of the testing software. We will review your footage and follow up with the results.
Once you complete your exam, your footage will be submitted to us for review and grading. After we have reviewed your footage, your scores will be issued.
🙏 We appreciate your patience throughout this process.
