Steps in Taking the Exam

Pre-Exam

  • Download and install Safe Exam Browser 2.4 (Windows, Mac). You will take the exam using only that browser. Safe Exam Browser allows the sharing of your entire screen with the proctor during the exam.
  • Register at proctorial.etraining.ph to fill in your data, including full name, mobile phone, email address, and profile picture. Using your webcam (preferably on the same computer you're going to use to take the exam) upload your profile photo. This will be used as reference image in validating your identity when you actually take the test later on. Your face has to be clear, with no glasses, zero to minimal makeup or anything that tends to alter your face.
  • Visit your Exam Room. You may need an “Room Key” for this. The organizer, accrediting agency, or your designated proctor will contact you to provide the exact web address for your exam room and its room key. You will also be asked to acknowledge and observe the Exam Rules.

Exam Day

  • Enter the exam room using the Safe Exam Browser (at least 15 minutes before schedule) and the Room Key shared with you by the organizer or proctor.
  • Upon taking the exam, take a facial recognition snap to validate your identity using your device's webcam. Your face has to be clear of glasses, makeup or anything that tends to change your face. Press the “validate” button to have the machine validate your identification.
  • Keep your webcam and microphone running the whole time while taking the test.
  • Observe an Honor Code:
"I understand how important it is to make what I am about to attempt all on my 
own. I understand what constitutes cheating or misconduct, and I will not 
undertake such activity or anything that undermines the integrity of this exam.  
In taking this exam, I understand that I am being monitored and will not do 
anything to thwart any of the monitoring measures put in place."
  • Keep your mobile phone (registered upon Sign-up) within reach and on vibrate mode, as the proctor may call you anytime during the exam.
  • Observer ALL the Exam Rules.
