Proctored Knowledge Exam Instructions
You cannot leave the remotely
proctored knowledge test event until you have finished your exam. Please use
the restroom before checking in to your remotely proctored knowledge exam.
Except for the cell phone
and tablet/laptop/desktop you are using for your remotely proctored knowledge exam,
all other electronic and Bluetooth-connected devices (cell phones, smart
watches, fitness monitors, tablets/laptops/desktops, etc.) usage is not allowed.
These items are not permitted in the testing area or allowed to be near or on
your person (in your pocket, on your wrist, etc.) during testing. Anyone using any other electronic or
Blue-tooth connected device of any kind during testing (texting, Google
searching, email, etc.) or navigating away from the remotely proctored
knowledge exam during testing will have their exam stopped, will have their exam
scored as a failed attempt, will forfeit all testing fees and will be reported
to their training program, D&SDT-HEADMASTER and the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health (DPH).
All Testing Policies and Security
measures are followed during the remotely proctored knowledge exam. Please refer to those sections in the
Candidate Handbook for information.
· The ‘video conferencing app’ (for example, Zoom, etc.) link must be
maintained during the entire knowledge exam.
§ I f the ‘video conferencing app’ (for
example, Zoom, etc.) connection is lost, you must immediately reconnect or be
subject to being exited from the test event by the remote Proctor, and your
exam will be scored as a failed attempt.
· Your device must not be muted during testing so that the remote Proctor can hear if there are any
distractions or other interruptions during your exam. REMEMBER: You need to test in a
distraction and interruption-free area just like you would if you were sitting
in the knowledge test room at a test site.
The questions will be presented to you, one at a time, on the computer screen. You will have 60 minutes to select answers A, B, C, or D for each question. You can navigate through the exam questions with the previous and next buttons.
Please refer to the time at the top of
the screen for the remaining time. The remote Proctor will
announce when 15 minutes are remaining.
§ If needed, you may do math calculations on scratch
paper and use a basic calculator. You will be asked to show both sides of the
scratch paper and calculator to the remote Proctor before
starting your exam.
§
Published foreign
language word-for-word translation
dictionaries are
allowed.
·
You will need to
show the remote Proctor the dictionary during check-in.
·
Electronic,
non-approved language translators or dictionaries that contain writing or
definitions are not
allowed.
§ If you have requested an AUDIO version of the
Knowledge Exam, you will need to have wired headphones/earbuds
(Bluetooth-connected devices are not allowed) that plug into the computer.
If you have any issues with the
computer, please let the remote Proctor know.
When you believe you are
finished with your exam, double-check all your answers. Then, quietly alert the
remote Proctor that you are finished.
You will click the End Exam button when directed to do so by the
remote Proctor. If you have any remaining questions, you will be notified via a
pop-up and can go back to answer them, provided there is time remaining.
