REMINDER: PRACTICE PROCTORING (November 20, 2017)
One of the key components of the verified learner Capstone Exam is the proctoring done during the exam. It is important to test the proctoring software on your computer well in advance of the Exam start date so that you know your computer is compatible with the virtual proctoring software. This gives you time to resolve any issues that may occur with your setup. It is also a good opportunity to become familiar with the overall process so there are no surprises when you take the real Exam 1 and Exam 2.
If you have not already completed it, you should complete the practice proctored test as soon as possible.
