intended to hold large items. Do not bring anything to the test center unless it is absolutely necessary.
Neither test center personnel, Pearson VUE, nor the IIA SA will be responsible for lost or stolen items.
The administrator will provide you with a copy of the Candidate Rules Agreement. You must accept the
terms of this agreement in order to take an exam at a Pearson VUE testing center.
You must provide an acceptable form of personal identification. The administrator will verify that the
name on the identification matches the name on the exam registration. You must keep this
identification with you at all times during the exam.
The administrator will capture your signature and verify that your signature matches that on your
identification (if any).
If you have brought a translation dictionary, the administrator will check it to be certain that it is
acceptable and does not contain any markings or inserted material.
(Please note that the only item that a candidate may bring to the test that is allowed in the testing room
is a language translation dictionary. This dictionary may not contain definitions of terms. It cannot have
anything written or highlighted in the book nor can it contain any added notes or documents inserted
into the book.)
You will be offered an erasable note board and pen on which you can take notes during the exam. You
must return this to the administrator prior to leaving the test center. You cannot take any notes from
the test center.
An onscreen calculator will be available during the exam. If you prefer a hand-held calculator and the
test center has one available, you may request to be provided with one. You will not be allowed to bring
a personal calculator or any other such device with you into the testing room.
You will be required to sign the test center log and you will be admitted to the test. Your test will start
within 30 minutes of the scheduled start time. If circumstances arise, other than candidate error, which
delay your session more than 30 minutes, you will be given the choice of continuing to wait or
rescheduling your appointment.
If you leave the testing room for any reason, you will be required to sign the test center log and show
your identification. You may also be required to provide a fingerprint when leaving or re-entering the
testing room.
You will not be allowed to bring any food or drink into the testing room.
You will be escorted to a workstation by the exam proctor. You must remain in your seat during the
exam, except when authorized to leave the testing room.
After you are logged into your exam, proceed through the introductory screens without delay. There is a
time limit on the initial screens and, if that time limit is exceeded, the exam session will automatically
begin.
If you encounter ANY computer problem, report it immediately to the exam proctor.
When you finish the exam, leave the testing room quietly, turn in your note board, and sign the test
center log. The test center staff will provide you with a printed unofficial score report and you may
leave after completing all necessary procedures.
Note: Your score will become official once the IIA SA has e-mailed your official results to you. This
normally takes approximately thirty days. Exam scores may be suspended, voided, or otherwise
