Keys to a successful Exam Day:
Run the “Computer Requirements Check” at least a day before the appointment
Disable your pop-up blocker
Click “connect to proctor” to begin
Be alone in room
Have a clear desk and workspace
Be connected to a power source
Your mobile phone and headphones must be out of reach
Have your government issued ID ready
Be prepared to perform a room scan
You must be in the webcam view throughout the exam.
