• take study materials, documents or memoranda of any sort into or from the exam room or review it during a break.
• ask questions about exam content.

• submit comments about specific exam questions during the exam by following the applicable onscreen instructions. We will review all comments, but we will not respond.

• all exams are monitored and may be recorded in both audio and video format.
• we reserve the right to cancel any exam score we believe to be obtained in a questionable manner.
• it is expressly prohibited to disclose, publish, reproduce or transmit any part of the exam, in any form, by any means, verbal or written, for any purpose, without our expressed written permission. Violation may result in civil or criminal prosecution.
  

Noise Reduction

To reduce distractions by the sounds of typing, coughing, or people entering and exiting the exam room, the exam center provides “white noise” background sound and, by request, earplugs or noise-reducing headsets. In addition, you may bring a set of sealed, disposable earplugs, which the exam site administrator will inspect before the exam. Prometric cannot provide a completely noise-free environment.
