What do I need to bring to the exam?
Candidates will need to bring the following items to the exam:
- Your admission ticket
- One form of identification including a current official photo identification with signature (driver's license, immigration card, passport, state ID card, etc). You will NOT be admitted without proper identification. If your name on your admission ticket does not match your government issued ID, please call Exam Registration ASAP or you will not be permitted to take your exam. 888-825-3636 ext. 783
- Extra layers of clothing for comfort in the exam center
What should I expect when I arrive to the exam?
Computer-based examinations are administered in separate rooms with a closeable door to minimize potential distractions to the candidates. The proctor will monitor activity from within the examination room, via direct observation through an unobstructed window view, or via video surveillance. Many CBT facilities have rooms with more than one testing station per examination room, with adequate space, or partitions between testing stations.
Computer-based testing centers provide exam administration services for multiple credentialing exams. These exams can be of different lengths, have different start times, and have different rules than ACE certification exams. All attempts will be made by the testing center to provide a calm, quiet, testing experience. Candidates who are sensitive to noise and occasional distractions may want to bring earplugs or similar to mitigate ambient noise.
What happens if I don't have an admission ticket?
You can access your admission ticket in your exam registration portal any time prior to your exam date. You need to print this out and bring it with you to the exam. If you fail to do so, you may not be able to sit for your exam.
Am I permitted to bring a calculator to the exam?
No, we do not allow candidates to use calculators during the exam. It's difficult for the proctors to distinguish between non-programmable and programmable calculators and this poses a potential security risk. Candidates could gain an unfair advantage by programming specific fitness information that could be used to help answer questions and possibly copy sensitive exam information. Keep in mind there are only about a dozen or so questions that involve basic math.
