Students who reside outside the 48 contiguous states may take the examination at a suitable site in their vicinity. The place of examination will be determined once the number of students taking a round of exams is known. A secure and quiet room or rooms will be scheduled for each part of the exam. No books, notes, or other materials are permitted in the room with the student taking the exam. All students must come to the Graduate Office to pick up the test each day at the appointed time and return the completed part at the appointed time.
Students can arrange to take exams by computer.
Computers may not be connected to the internet, e-mail, etc. during the exam. Under all circumstances, the computer to be used should not contain any data files and should have no programs other than the preferred word processor. Each day the test supervisor will check each computer used and each blank disk provided by the student both before and after the exam in order to ensure that during the exam no material other than that created by the student at the time of the exam is available. A student must provide the printed copy of each part of the exam to the Graduate Office in the manner discussed above. A disk may be reused the next day but without earlier files.
