New Exam Features
- Certification candidates can now “flag” questions they want to revisit.
- Certification candidates can review all questions before submitting the exam.
Proctoring
- Certification candidates must begin their certification exam within 20 minutes of proctor approval. If they fail to do so, their session will be terminated, and they will receive the following notification.
In this scenario, the certification candidate has been placed in a "reset" state and will not need an additional digital voucher or be prompted for credit card information to start the exam. Each certification candidate is granted three resets. - Proctors can know when the page was last updated with a floating timer.
- Proctoring Exams for More Than One Teacher or More Than One Course
- To enhance the performance of our proctor page, we've revised the functionality to facilitate proctoring of only one certification exam at a time on the page. We understand some proctors may need to oversee multiple certifications simultaneously. This can be achieved by opening each exam in its own tab. This approach enables efficient proctoring of multiple exams while maintaining the focus and performance of the proctor page on a single exam.
Proctors should login to their account and right click the proctor button. Select the option to “Open link in new tab” or “Open link in new window”. “Open link in new tab” allows for bouncing back and forth between each exam. - To enhance the performance of our proctor page, we've revised the functionality to facilitate proctoring of only one certification exam at a time on the page.

The reset button will not be visible unless a candidate checks back into the exam after experiencing a technical disruption.
- Certification candidates must check back in, be approved by the proctor and begin their certification exam (i.e., click the [Next] button) within the required 20-minute window. If they fail to do so, their session will be terminated, and they will receive the following notification.
In this scenario, the certification candidate’s failure to begin the exam within the required 20 minutes resulted in a scored exam.
