What Could Cause Your Exam to be Stopped and/or Revoked?

We take steps to ensure that every testing experience is a good one, but there are two main reasons your exam could be stopped.

  • Your exam cannot be launched—if technical problems with your computer or internet connection prevent the exam from launching correctly.
  • Your exam could be revoked if the proctor sees any irregularities.
    • You must stay within webcam view.
    • You cannot get up and walk around.
    • No one can enter your testing environment.
    • You cannot use paper and pencil/pen.
    • You cannot access your cell phone without explicit permission by the proctor.
    • You cannot leave your testing environment.
    • You must be clothed (no hats or hoodies).
    • A beverage in any container is allowed, but no food or smoking.

Additionally, you could receive a warning for the following activities, which could lead to your testing session being revoked:

  • Moving your webcam—you cannot move your webcam once your testing session has started.
  • Mumbling or speaking out loud will lead to a warning.
