  • Avoid wearing items such as jewelry, tie clips, cuff links, ornate clips, combs, barrettes, headbands and other hair accessories.
  • If you wear eyeglasses you will be asked to show them to the camera so the proctor checks them prior to starting. You will show your eyeglasses from all angles to make sure they do not have a camera or earphones.

  • You may use one of the following to take notes:
