TIP
Print and Review
Print a copy of the Exam Rules document and keep it available during your exam.
Internet Stability
Ensure you will have a stable, uninterrupted internet connection for your exam. If your internet access fails during the exam, your results may be lost, and you may need to retake the exam. 
Navigation
Once you start the exam, do not refresh your browser, use browser buttons, or navigate away from the exam screen until the exam has been submitted. If you navigate away from the exam screen at any time, your progress may be lost.   
Starting an Exam

Do not click the 'Attempt exam now' button until you are prepared to begin the exam and your invigilator is ready with your PIN.  Your attempt and the exam timer will begin once the invigilator has entered the PIN, and you press the ‘Start attempt’ button

Submitting an Exam
You must  click ‘Finish attempt’ on the final exam question to record your exam answers in the system. You will then be prompted to confirm exam submission twice. Once you click ‘Submit all and finish’ the second time, you  cannot return to review your answers. See Submitting an Exam for complete details. 
Timer
Do not click the ' Attempt exam now ' button until you are prepared to begin the exam and your invigilator is ready with your PIN. Your attempt and the exam timer will begin once you press the ‘Start attempt ’ button.
