Taking the Exam

SkillCred Exams monitored by LF Proctoring Service

SkillCred Exams are available "On Demand".

They can be launched at any time, and do NOT need to be pre-scheduled with a proctoring provider.

Verify Your Name (Make sure it matches your ID)

Prior to the Candidate clicking "Take Exam" on the LF Portal, they should click on the "Verify Now" link to ensure that the First and Last Name listed on their Linux Foundation ID account exactly matches the First & Last name displayed on the government-issued photo ID that will be uploaded to the proctoring system.

Once a candidate clicks on "Launch Exam" in the PSI Dashboard, the "Verified Name" (from the exam checklist) is considered the Registered name for the exam session.

NO CHANGES ARE PERMITTED TO THE VERIFIED NAME ONCE YOU HAVE STARTED THE TAKE EXAM PROCESS.
