Registering as a user: All test candidates must register an account with Certiport. Each person will only ever need one login/username. If you are unsure whether you have previously registered, contact support.

Installation of the exam delivery system(s): Each computer used for testing should be set up and configured prior to exam delivery. Determine which delivery method you will be using.

Prior to a scheduled testing event you should check for available updates to the exam delivery method(s) and then test your computer for readiness:

• Refer to the install and setup guides for each delivery system/solution by clicking here.
• Review the Top 10 checklist for additional pre-exam tips.

The following is only an outline. All exams must be delivered adhering to the items detailed in the exam administration policies.

1. The Proctor validates the candidate's identity by checking a government-issued picture identification card, and removes all prohibited items before administering any exam.
2. Each Test Candidate double-clicks the applicable desktop icon on the testing computer to begin the exam. The candidate:
   • enters his/her username and logs in
   • chooses the program, suite and individual exam to be taken
   • select whether or not a voucher will be used
3. Select whether or not you will be using an Exam Group. Using exam groups provides additional reporting functionality.
4. The proctor then verifies all the information is correct and enters his/her username to launch the exam.
5. The proctor observes the candidate(s) throughout the duration of the exam using the appropriate observation methods.

If you have technical problems while delivering exams, contact support.
