Additionally, your envelope and belongings may be inspected as part of the security protocol. Only applicants who are properly registered will be admitted at the test site. Wait for instruction to enter the testing room.
  2. Attend to your personal needs before the start of the examination. No one will be allowed to go out of the testing room at the start of pre-administration instructions. If you must use the restroom during the test, raise your hand and wait for permission to leave the room. Close your test booklet and put your test materials face down on the armchair. You will not be given extra time for time lost during your absence in the restroom. Only one person at a time is permitted to leave the testing room and WILL be accompanied by a proctor. Examinees who are allowed to use the restroom must go directly to the restroom and must return to the testing room without visiting any other area of the test center.
