The process is secure, easily accessible, and monitors testing activity, and records all aspects of the exam session. Candidates who would like to choose live remote proctoring will need to run a system and webcam test on the computer they plan to take the examination before registering to ensure it will meet remote proctoring requirements. If they meet the requirements, they can move forward with scheduling Live Remote Proctoring.
