Question 1

A candidate arrives at a Pearson VUE testing center without a government-issued photo ID. What is the correct protocol?

Deny entry and instruct the candidate to reschedule with proper identification

Question 2

What is 'screen sharing' flagged for during AI-proctored remote exams?

Accepted Answer

It may allow an unauthorized third party to view exam content or assist the candidate

Answer

Unauthorized screen sharing can expose exam questions to helpers outside the testing environment, constituting a serious security violation.

Question 3

Which of the following is a key advantage of randomized item ordering in a CBT exam?

Accepted Answer

It makes it harder for candidates taking the same exam to share answers in real time

Answer

Randomized item ordering reduces the effectiveness of real-time collusion because candidates receive questions in different sequences.

Question 4

What is the primary security function of a Faraday cage or signal blocker in a CBT testing center?

Accepted Answer

To block wireless signals that could allow candidates to communicate with outside parties

Answer

Signal blockers prevent candidates from using wireless devices to receive answers or transmit exam content during testing.
