It is recommended that the candidate arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled exam start time for registration and orientation, as the exam will start at the scheduled time. Proctors will log each candidate into the exam at the designated time. Before the exam begins candidates will be required to read and agree to the Candidate Statement of Understanding. A print version is attached to this document in Appendix B: Candidate Statement of Understanding.

Candidates who arrive between the scheduled start time and 30 minutes after the scheduled start time will be allowed to take the exam. However, the exam clock will start at the scheduled exam time, and the candidates will have lost the amount of time that they were late.

Candidates who arrive more than 30 minutes after the scheduled start time will not be permitted to take the exam.
