Understanding what to expect on exam day will help you better prepare for your online exam, reduce anxiety, and significantly reduce the chance for any issues on exam day!
Take your Written (or Oral) exam conveniently from home or work through Credentia online proctoring!
A live proctor will monitor you through the webcam on your workstation to provide a secure exam experience. Online exams also offer significantly more scheduling flexibility than test center exams to best meet your availability.
If you have any additional questions regarding your exam, please view the handbook on your state’s webpage.
A properly equipped computer - a desktop, laptop, or Chromebook with a single monitor (no smartphones or tablets). See system requirements.
