An acceptable room is a room free of distractions and includes a door to prevent anyone from entering. Great choices are restrooms or closets, but these are not the only choices that work well.
Please open any closet doors or shower curtains for the scan and then close them for the exam.
The following choices of a room are NOT allowed: No vehicles or outdoor locations and no location that has uncontrollable noise or distractions.
A desk, countertop, or table is good. Laps and other options can work. Please DO NOT SIT on a BED! Do not sit on couches or in chairs that recline or rock. Please be respectful of the exam team and the exam. This is a formal exam and should not be taken lightly.
Clear the room of all exam and non-exam materials, notes, books, posters, computer screens, or anything that could aid in taking the exam. Many people just use a bathroom, and that simplifies everything.

Clear the room of any distracting items that could take your attention off of the exam. No drinks, food, hat, watch, calculators, vapes or tobacco products.

Clear the room of any distracting things that could take your attention off of the exam.

You must not have in the exam room any other people or pets.
When in Waiting Room, do NOT test screen share or any other functions of zoom, doing so will result in you being removed from the session!!!
