7 Test Taker Checklist Schedule your appointment at least 48 hours in advance. Log in at least minutes prior to your scheduled exam in order to run diagnostic tests. Ensure the internet connection is fast and reliable. If connected through a WiFi connection, B Virtual recommends plugging directly into the modem to avoid disconnections or disruptions during the exam. If there are any allowed items during the exam (scratch paper, calculator, etc), please have them out and ready to show the proctor for verification. Have a valid government issued ID to verify your identity. Two forms of identity are preferred. If you have a built in webcam on your computer, please have a mirror or reflective surface available so the proctor can inspect the computer monitor edges and keyboard. Remove all electronic devices (including phones from the exam area). Make sure you are in an adequately lit environment so the proctor will be able to monitor your surroundings. You will not be permitted to leave the room while taking an exam. Be sure you are in a secure location and will not be interrupted. If another person walks into the room you are testing in, the testing session will be terminated, and the instructor will be notified. The exam timer does not begin until the proctor enters the examinee into their test. MGCCC elearning Revised 2/15/17 7
