Checklist sections

Getting Started

Candidates must complete all 4 required items in the Getting Started section in order for the Schedule button to become active.

1

Global Candidate Agreement

Select I agree to the LF Global Certification & Confidentiality Agreement. Use the provided links to review the Agreement, Exam rules and policies, and Zero tolerance policy

2

Identity Verification

Enter your name exactly as it appears on the ID that you will present to the proctor, and click Confirm.

3

Operating System & Testing Location Requirements

Confirm that your system and testing location meet the requirements to avoid termination of your exam.

Use the provided links to review the Operating System requirements and Testing Location requirements.

Schedule Exam

The Schedule button will become available within 30 minutes after completing all 4 items in the Getting Started section.

Clicking on Schedule will redirect you to our proctoring partner's site (PSI).

Once your exam is scheduled, your exam reservation time and date will be displayed in this section. Use the Add to Calendar option to set a reminder in a calendar of your choice.

Preparing for the Exam

This section provides essential tools and information to help you prepare for your certification exam.

PSI Remote Testing Tutorial

Once you have scheduled a new reservation with PSI, you will be able to access the PSI Remote Testing Tutorial, which allows candidates to practice downloading/installing/navigating the Secure Browser and learn how to identify/deactivate/uninstall prohibited programs and processes. The tutorial takes about 30 minutes to complete and can be accessed up to 150 minutes before the scheduled start of a reservation. We encourage all candidates to complete the tutorial.

Take Exam

The Take Exam button will become available 30 minutes prior to the scheduled exam time. Clicking on Take Exam will redirect you to the proctoring partner's site, where you will launch the exam.

This is also your last opportunity to verify that your name matches the ID you will show to the proctor. If any changes are needed, enter those before clicking the Take Exam button.

Exams are graded within 24 hours from the time an exam is completed.

Depending on your exam's outcome, this section will display:
