  • You are in the testing center after the entire exam period has ended
  • You take an exam outside of the published testing times (e.g., during evenings or weekends)
  • You transcribe questions in any form, remove notes made on scratch paper, or provide information about any aspect of the examination to students who have not taken the examination. By taking the examination, each student pledges that he or she has neither given nor received any help on the examination.
  • You use a cell phone, PDA, or other electronic equipment while taking an exam.

Please Remember

  • The examination clock will begin when students log on to the examination.
  • You may use a pen or pencil and the scratch paper provided in the Computer Testing Center while taking the examination to work out problems or to write notes indicating those questions that you might want to review. This may begin only after logging into the examination. Used scratch paper must be discarded in the wastebasket provided. Do not remove scratch paper from the Computer Testing Center.
  • You are permitted to take breaks during the time allocated for the examination but additional time will not be provided.
