What is an exam that is proctored online?

In a nutshell, it’s an online exam taken on a laptop or desktop computer, with a candidate navigating a secure exam check-in process assisted by a remote proctor or exam supervisor. The proctor ensures that you are logged in, confirms your identity, and makes sure your workspace and surroundings are compliant.The proctor is with you the entire time, is able to see and hear you, and is available to help you from start to finish.

Responding to Your Inquiries Regarding Online Proctoring

We covered the “do’s and don’ts” of online proctoring in a recent webinar, along with important exam preparation advice and best practices. The presentation slides are available here, or you can watch the entire webinar session.

Top questions from the webinar are listed below:

Q: Although my ID has many middle names, I have only entered my first and last names when registering. Is this anything that has to be reconciled?

Feher-Watters, Isabel Since the verification process only uses the first and last names, this would not be regarded as a discrepancy. It is crucial to understand, however, that the first and last names on your identification must correspond with the records maintained by PSI and IIBA. If not, you have to send an email to info@iiba.org to IIBA at least two weeks before your booked appointment. It is crucial that you take care of this since you won’t be able to take the exam or get your test cost back if you don’t have the required identification. This implies that before you can take the exam, you will need to pay the exam cost once more.

Is there a method to check the compatibility of my laptop before the exam day?

Feher-Watters, Isabel Yes, at any point before the test, you can use this link to check your compatibility: https://syscheck.bridge.psiexams.com/. Make sure the equipment and the venue where the test will be administered are compatible.

Can I rely solely on the camera on my laptop?

Physician Michael White: Sure, if the camera on your laptop is clear. Should you want to use your laptop’s camera, be ready to rotate the whole device in order to scan the full testing area.

Does the proctor have to look about my workspace or room?

Feher-Watters, Isabel Yes, you will be required to perform four quick video scans on exam day. For each scan, there will be a different website with instructions to scan:

The space and work area

from the ground to the ceiling

Oneself

surface of the desk

Each task will take 15 seconds to complete, but before uploading it for the proctor to review, you can go back and redo it. The proctor will examine bookcases, wall hangings, portraits, and electrical equipment in addition to searching for forbidden objects. You will be requested to take out of the room any objects that are forbidden and that might jeopardize the integrity of the exam. See the IIBA® Guide to Online Proctored Exams for a complete list of permitted and forbidden items. A successful exam check-in can be achieved by being ready in advance and understanding what to anticipate.

Is it possible to take an IIBA exam on a MacBook?

Physician Michael White: It is possible to take examinations on a MacBook, but first make sure your system is compatible by going to https://syscheck.bridge.psiexams.com to check.

Are there any active discussion forums on the internet for the IIBA exams?

Feher-Watters, Isabel There are a number of LinkedIn and Facebook groups dedicated to IIBA certification, and your local IIBA Chapter may also offer study groups.

Where may applicants locate sample questions for the ECBA exam?

Feher-Watters, Isabel Only a limited number of practice tests are available on the IIBA website; many more can be found through study groups, IIBA Chapter Events, and the IIBA Education Endorsed Programs (EEPs).

Dr. Michael White: The Business Analysis Doctor offers simulations (mock tests) for a number of IIBA certifications in addition to other Education Endorsed Programs (EEPs).

Is there a paper about online proctoring available on the IIBA website?

Feher-Watters, Isabel Yes, a fantastic summary can be found in the IIBA Guide to Online Proctored Exams. To be ready and know what to anticipate, properly read it.

Is it permitted for exam participants to use more than one monitor?

Feher-Watters, Isabel No, only one monitor is permitted. If the PSI system notices more monitors, it will request that they be disconnected and deleted. It is advisable to get ready for this in advance.

A calculator is permitted for use on the CBAP or CCBA exam.
