Preparing for a Remote Proctored Exam


Remote proctored exam provides great flexibility for students who prefer to write their exam from the comfort of their home or other location. That said, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their personal computer—that they plan to use for the exam—satisfies the minimum system requirements and meets all other technical criteria. Students are also responsible to ensure their surroundings and internet connection meet the remote proctoring requirements. Our exam partner, Prometric, provides technical support before and during your exam. On the exam day, the Readiness Agent or Proctor will be available to assist at all times.

To ensure you have a positive remotely proctored exam-taking experience, please review our frequently asked questions.

Preparing for an In-Person Exam at a Test Centre

An in-person exam at a test centre is a great option for students who prefer to write their exams in a formal and controlled exam environment. Students will be guided through the security and check-in process as soon as they arrive at the test centre. Test centre personnel are responsible for the environment set-up and technology functionality. All you need to do is come prepared to challenge your exam.

To ensure you have a positive in-person exam-taking experience, please review our frequently asked questions.

Writing Your Exams

Whether you choose remote proctoring or in-person at a test centre—you will be writing your exam on a computer application provided by our partner, Prometric. The exam platform provides you with a range of features such as tracking your exam including flagging questions, a progress bar, the ability to change answers, and bookmarking.

We recommend you explore this demo tutorial before your exam day to familiarize yourself with the exam style and review our frequently asked questions.

Exam Results

As soon as you complete your exam, you will receive a pass or fail grade. Official exam results are normally available within 24 hours for multiple-choice exams unless your exam is in constructed-response format. For other exam formats, results are available within 30 business days.

Upon successful course completion, you will receive a Notice of Course Completion. You will also receive a Student Performance Record (SPR) for each exam attempt that identifies how well you scored in the different topic areas.

Your academic transcript which includes information on all completed courses will be updated.

You can access all this through MyCSI. Please review our frequently asked questions for more information about exam results.
