Prometric takes exam security very seriously and wants to ensure that all candidates, whether remote or in-person, are subject to the same high standards. Their checks for remote proctoring are very thorough and include a full scan of the room where you are testing, your desk/table area, your chair, the floor around you, your arms and hands, pockets and more. You will not be permitted to wear jewelry or have any notes or electronic devices near you. You might be asked to remove or cover nearby clutter with a blanket or sheet.
To ensure a smooth testing experience, we recommend clearing out your testing area prior to your appointment. Remove any papers, books, envelopes or other materials completely from your testing area. It is also important to make sure you have a flat surface to test on, an actual stool or chair and a private room with four walls and a door. You will not be able to complete the environmental check if your testing area includes glass walls and uncovered windows. Before scheduling a remotely proctored exam, please review the video below.
If you do not feel comfortable with these requirements or are unable to successfully meet them, a Prometric testing center might be a better option for you. The ACFE will be happy to work with you to make sure your testing experience is as positive as possible while still adhering to testing industry best practices.
