Testing with Prometric

You will take the test in a room that is dedicated to that purpose. There may be one or more additional people taking other tests in the same room. The room is typically monitored via video camera to deter cheating. You will have the option of completeing a practice test to familiarize yourself with the testing software. This is really only necessary if you haven't used practice tests as part of your preparation, or if you feel like uncomfortable with computer-based testing.

When you finish the exam, your score will appear on the screen. Do not continue past that point until you have your official score sheet in hand. Although it's extremely unlikely that your score will be lost, better safe than sorry.

Prometric tests usually involve some sort of survey at the end. There may actually be two surveys - one from Prometric and one from the certification program. These are not part of certification requirements, but you will probably have to complete them.

There will probably also be a confidentiality agreement that you must acknowledge by clicking on an "I agree" button. This is basically a promise not to give out the questions you encountered in the exam.

After your exam, Prometric transmits your results to the test sponsor where they are entered into your candidate record. The time between taking an exam and having the results registered in the sponsor's database depend on a number of factors. Depending on how often a sponsor updates their database and how often the test center transmits data, your records may be updated within a few hours or several days.

That's all there is to it!
