Reporting of Examination Disruptions

If, during the course of sitting for any examination, a Candidate/Diplomate experiences disruptions or other issues that interfered with the Candidate/Diplomate’s taking the examination, such concerns must be reported in writing by the Candidate/Diplomate to the Chief Executive Officer no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after sitting for the examination. Examination disruptions or other issues interfering with a Candidate/Diplomate taking the examination at computer testing sites require the Candidate/Diplomate to request an incident report be filed at the site and to submit in writing to the Chief Executive Officer the details of the incident. Reporting requirements for computer testing sites may be different than non-computer-based testing facilities and it is the Candidate/Diplomate’s responsibility to file a report in a timely manner. The Chief Proctor’s Manual, attached as Appendix L, specifies how disruptions during the administration of a non-computer-based examinations are to be addressed.
