Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How will I complete exams?
A: You will be asked to locate a proctor in your area. Anyone who works in a public learning institution may serve as your proctor (i.e., teacher, principal, librarian, professor, etc.) Your exams will be mailed to your proctor directly and you will take your exams at that institution. (Note: your relatives cannot serve as proctors.)
