For detailed information on taking online exams, [visit](visit pearsonvue.com/comptia/onvue)[ pearsonvue.com/comptia/onvue](visit pearsonvue.com/comptia/onvue).  \nHOW DO CANDIDATES PREPARE FOR AN ONLINE EXAM?  \nIn addition to evaluating mastery of the objectives for the exam they plan to take, to prepare for an online exam candidates should:  \n• Run the system test. To avoid unneeded delays and stress, candidates should run the system test prior to their exam appointment.  \n• Connect using a strong, reliable internet connection.  \n• Take the exam using the same computer and network used for the system test.  \n• Close all other applications. The secure browser used foryour exam requires that you close all applications except OnVUE. Failing to do so will interrupt your exam.  \nWHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS?  \nComputers used for testing must meet specific operating system, firewall, display, internet browser, internet connection speed, webcam, and sound and microphone requirements. The system test checks that the device a candidate intends to use to take their exam meets specific requirements.  \nTo view the detailed list of system requirements, [visit](visit home.pearsonvue.com/comptia/onvue)[ home.pearsonvue.com/comptia/onvue](visit home.pearsonvue.com/comptia/onvue).  \nWHAT ARE THE TESTING ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS?  \nCandidates may test in any room with walls and a door that closes. They must be an area free from distractions. No one else is permitted in the room with the candidate while they are testing. The testing environment will be evaluated prior to the start of the exam. Candidates will be asked to use their webcam to slowly scan from left to right to show surrounding walls and to scan up and down to show the floor and ceiling.  \nCandidates will then be asked to scan their entire work area. The proctor is looking for security risks, including but not limited to:  \n• Additional monitors (must be unplugged and turned away from you)  \n• Additional computers (must be turned off and monitors must be dark)  \n• Wall art/posters (these will be inspected)  \nThe work area should be clear of all materials, including the following items that are not allowed within arm’s reach: books, notepads, Post-it notes, typed notes/papers, or writing instruments such as pens, markers, or pencils. Whiteboards should be wiped clean. (A virtual whiteboard will be available to candidates during their exam.)  \nIf a candidate is unable to complete a work area scan, they will not be permitted to proceed further orto take the exam.  \nWHAT MATERIALS CAN CANDIDATES HAVE WITH THEM DURING THEIR TEST?  \nNone. During the exam, candidates may not access the following types of personal items: hand-held computers or other electronic devices, pagers, watches, wallets, purses, hats (or other head coverings), bags, coats, books, notes, or any other materials not specifically approved. (A virtual whiteboard will be available to candidates during their exam.) In addition, candidates will be asked to:  \n• Turn out all their pockets (pants pocketsand blazer/sweater pockets) so the greeter can see that they are empty.  \n• Roll up any long sleeves to show that there is no writing on their arms.  \n• Li","cbCaisU9CA1HlBuP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisU9CA1HlBuP","pdf",400491,"English","# Benefits\n# How Do Candidates Schedule an Exam?\n# How Do Candidates Prepare for an Online Exam?\n# What Are the System Requirements?\n# What Are the Testing Environment Requirements?\n# What Materials Can Candidates Have During Their Test?\n# Will Candidates Be Recorded?\n# What If a Candidate Does Not Want to Be Recorded?\n# Is Technical Software Assistance Available During the Exam?\n# Can Candidates Be in a Shared Office or in a Room With Other People?\n# Do Candidates Have to Install Software?\n# Is the Exam as Secure as Those Taken at a Test Center?","[{\"question\":\"How can candidates schedule an online CompTIA exam?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates should review online testing policies and procedures, run the system test, and then schedule the online exam.\"},{\"question\":\"What should candidates do to prepare their computer for the online exam?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates should run the system test beforehand, use a strong reliable internet connection, take the exam on the same computer and network as the system test, and close all other applications except OnVUE.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the testing environment and work-area requirements?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates may test only in a room with a closing door and no distractions, with no other people in the room.
