- A university-issued student ID card
- A credit card bearing your name
- A valid, unexpired passport (Correct answer)
- A library card with your photograph
Correct answer: A valid, unexpired passport
A valid, unexpired passport is a government-issued photo ID and is universally accepted as primary identification at Prometric test centers worldwide.
Question 2: What is Prometric's policy if the name on a candidate's ID does not exactly match the name used during exam registration?
- Minor spelling discrepancies are always automatically overlooked
- The candidate may be denied admission to the exam (Correct answer)
- The candidate can take the exam and correct the name discrepancy afterward

Correct answer: The candidate may be denied admission to the exam
If the name on your ID does not match the name on your exam registration, you may be denied entry to the testing session, making it critical to verify name consistency beforehand.
Question 3: What writing materials does Prometric typically provide to candidates in place of regular paper?
- Spiral-bound notebooks to keep after the exam
- Printed scrap paper provided at the workstation
- Laminated note boards with dry-erase markers (Correct answer)
- Yellow legal pads collected after the session
Correct answer: Laminated note boards with dry-erase markers
Prometric provides laminated note boards (scratch boards) with dry-erase markers as controlled, reusable materials that ensure candidates cannot remove notes or exam content from the center.
Question 4: Why does Prometric photograph candidates during the check-in process?
- To create a permanent Prometric online account profile picture
- To verify identity and maintain a security record linking the candidate to their session (Correct answer)
- To share the image with the exam-sponsoring organization upon request
- To automatically generate the candidate's official score report
Correct answer: To verify identity and maintain a security record linking the candidate to their session
The photograph taken at check-in creates an official security record that confirms the identity of the person who tested and links them to that specific exam session.
Question 5: What should a candidate do if they need to leave the Prometric testing room during their exam?
- Leave quietly and return without notifying anyone
- Raise their hand or approach a proctor for authorized assistance (Correct answer)
- Use their personal phone to call the front desk for help
- Log out of the exam system and return to the waiting area unescorted
Correct answer: Raise their hand or approach a proctor for authorized assistance
All candidate movements in and out of the testing room require proctor authorization; leaving without notifying staff can be flagged as a security breach.

Accessing a prohibited device such as a mobile phone during an exam is a serious security violation that warrants immediate exam termination and may result in score cancellation.
Question 7: What does the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that candidates sign at Prometric primarily prohibit?

The NDA prohibits candidates from reproducing, disclosing, or sharing specific exam questions, answers, or content in any form, protecting the security and validity of the exam.
