What must my room and desk be like where I take the examination?

In order to pass the  room scan for remote proctoring your desk must be clear of any papers, and articles that will prevent you from providing a clean “exam like” atmosphere.  The room must not contain books and items posted on the walls.  Think of a clean examination room, a clean boardroom.  You will be required to scan the room for the proctor prior to taking the test and that scan will need to meet with the proctor’s approval.

Bookshelves with books and nick knacks should be covered with a sheet.  You do not need to close the curtains or put down the blinds!
