Any suspicious activity will be addressed and could result in consequences including, but not limited to, revoking your passing score and restricting your ability to take the exam again.

This registration gives you eligibility to take the exam for which you registered (“Exam”) within 12 months of the registration date, or when your corporate subscription expires (whichever happens first).
