Conduct occurring before, during or after testing that violates these principles may result in invalidation of exam results and/or other penalties and will be reported to Natural Resources Canada.

I have read, understand and agree to abide by the above statement.

1. The EnerGuide Rating System exams are highly confidential. The exam questions are the

property of Natural Resources Canada. Unauthorized disclosure of the exam questions is prohibited under copyright laws. By acknowledging this statement of understanding, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of the exam questions. You must therefore:

▪ Keep the exam content confidential, even after the exam. This also includes not discussing the content with anyone who wrote the exam before you, with you or who has not written the exam yet.

▪ Not use, or be in possession of any electronic device (such as cell phones, cameras, pagers, iPods, etc.) in the exam room;

▪ Realize that any recording or memorization of exam questions is strictly forbidden whether you intend to recreate parts of the exam for financial gain or not.

2. Candidates may be observed at all times while they are taking an exam. This observation will

include direct observation by invigilators. Invigilators may not necessarily inform you of their observations, but they are required to report behaviour that may violate the terms and regulations of Natural Resources Canada or other forms of irregular behaviour. 3. Any cheating and/or breach of confidentiality/security or any attempt to subvert the exam process

by any candidate violates the purpose and principles of the exam. Any candidate who carries out, takes part in or who witnesses such behaviour must report it to the Invigilator and/or Natural Resources Canada as soon as possible. 4. Yardstick Software Inc. strives to report results that accurately reflect the skill and performance of each candidate and represent a valid measure of their knowledge or competence as sampled by the exam. Accordingly, our standards and procedures for administering exams have two related goals: giving candidates comparable opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, and preventing any of them from gaining an unfair advantage over others. To promote these objectives, Natural Resources Canada reserves the right to cancel or withhold any exam results when, in the sole opinion of Natural Resources Canada, a testing irregularity occurs; cheating has occurred; there is an apparent discrepancy in, or falsification of, a candidate's identification; a candidate engages in misconduct or plagiarism; when aberrancies in performance are detected for which there is no reasonable and satisfactory explanation; or the results are believed to be invalid for any other reason.

A candidate agrees to abide by all regulations, as well as oral and written instructions controlling the conduct of the exam. These regulations are intended to preserve the integrity of the exam process by providing standard test administration conditions that yield valid and reliable results.
