Test Day

What Are The Rules For Taking The Test?

You will not be allowed to eat, drink, or use tobacco while in the testing room. If you want to go outside, you must inform the test administrator where you are going, and you must remain in the immediate vicinity of the test center.

If you believe you have a problem with your computer, need more scratch paper, or require any other assistance, raise your hand and notify the test administrator.

You may not leave the workstation while timed sections of the test are being administered. If there is an emergency and you must leave your seat during the test session, raise your hand and notify the test administrator. The timing for the test section you are working on will not stop during your absence.
