What You'll Need

  • A private room - if you don't have access to a private room, check with your training program or local library for availability. 
  • A mobile device - to complete a 360-degree room scan, you will need a smartphone or tablet (Apple or Android) that can download our free app.

Before Exam Day

  • Perform a system test – make sure to do the required system test and exam simulation before exam day. Visit http://www.credentia.com/online-exams and select the “Run System Test” button. 
  • Find your testing space – Find a quiet, distraction-free area in your home or office to take your exam. 
  • Get your ID ready - One unexpired government issued photo ID. If ID is expired, the candidate must provide proof of renewal along with expired ID.

Your name on your identification must be the same as the name you used on the application to register for the examination. If you do not have proper identification, you will not be allowed to take the test, and your examination fee will not be refunded.

On Exam Day

STEP 1: Prepare your testing space.

  • Quiet: no background noise and inform members of your household you are taking an exam.
  • Well lit: proctors must be able to see you and your testing space well. 
  • Privacy: no one else in the room. 
  • Remove prohibited items: clear workstation area to expedite room scan. 
  • Restroom/Beverages: use restroom and prepare beverages before exam. 

STEP 2: Have your ID ready.

  • Have your government issued photo ID with you. 

STEP 3: Prepare your computer.

  • Disconnect any additional monitors and close all other open applications. 
  • Have your chargers (laptop, smart phone or tablet) plugged in or nearby. 
  • Use a wired internet connection rather than WiFi, if possible. 
  • If using WiFi, we recommend at least 3Mbps and ask that other household members do not use the internet during your exam. 
  • Disconnect any VPNs or firewalls if you have them. 

STEP 4: Download the ExamRoom.AI app.
