Pearson VUE Candidate Rules Agreement
Please review and sign the following test rules agreement. Contact the TA if you have any questions. The term
TA will be used in this document to mean test administrator, invigilator, and proctor.
1. No personal items, including but not limited to mobile phones, hand-held computers/personal digital
assistants (PDAs) or other electronic devices, pagers, watches, wallets, purses, rearms or other
weapons, hats (and other non-religious head coverings), bags, coats, jackets, eyeglass cases, pens, or
pencils, are allowed in the testing room. No barrettes or hair clips that are larger than 1/4-inch (1/2-cm)
wide and headbands or hairbands that are larger than 1/2-inch (1 cm) wide are allowed in the testing
room. No jewelry that is removable and larger than 1/4-inch (1/2-cm) wide is allowed in the testing room.
No books and/or notes are allowed in the testing room unless authorized by the test program sponsor for
your use during the test. You must store all personal items in a secure area as indicated by the TA or return
them to your vehicle. If you refuse to store your personal items, you will be unable to test, and you will lose
your test fee. All electronic devices must be turned off before storing them in the designated secure area.
2. You will be asked to empty your pockets for the purpose of allowing the TA to verify that nothing is in them.
If you have hair that covers your ears, you may be asked to show them for the purpose of allowing the TA to
verify that no Bluetooth devices are present. The TA may also ask you to roll up your sleeves to verify that
you have no writing on your arms. Before you enter the testing room, you will be asked to pat yourself down
(for example: arms, legs, and waistline) to show there is nothing hidden on your body. The test center is not
responsible for lost, stolen, or misplaced personal items. Studying IS NOT allowed in the test center.
3. Some test program sponsors require TAs to collect a digital photograph and/or digital signature and may
digitally authenticate your ID. This is done to verify each candidate’s identity and to protect the security
and integrity of the test. If required, the TA will obtain this information from you before you enter the testing
room. You understand that if there are discrepancies during the check-in process you may be prohibited
from entering the testing room, you may not be allowed to reschedule your test appointment, and you
may forfeit your test application fee. The identication requirements used during the check-in process
are dened by the test sponsor, and the TA has no exibility to add, delete, or alter this process. Upon
entering and being seated in the testing room, the TA will provide you with those materials authorized by
the test program sponsor for your use during the test to make notes or calculations on, and you will be
provided any other material as specied by the test program sponsor. You may not remove any of these
materials from the testing room or begin writing on your note board until your test has been started.
If you need new or additional materials during the test, you must raise your hand. You must return all items
and materials to the TA immediately following the test.
4. The TA will log you into your assigned workstation. You will verify that you are taking the intended test that
you registered to take. Unless otherwise instructed, you must remain in your assigned seat until escorted
out of the testing room by a TA.
5. Once you have entered the testing room, you may not communicate with other candidates. Any disruptive,
threatening, or fraudulent behavior in the testing room may be grounds for terminating your test,
invalidating your test results, or disqualifying you from taking the test at a future date.
6. You understand that eating, drinking, chewing gum, smoking, and/or making noise that creates a
disturbance for other candidates is prohibited during the test.
