Assessment Integrity Starts With Clear Expectations

Standardized conditions help departments compare assessment evidence using the rules they approved. The exact requirements depend on your department's instructions.

Your responsibilities as a candidate

  • Follow the department instructions

    Use only the time, materials, devices, references, and response methods the department permits.

  • Complete your own work

    Do not receive unauthorized assistance from another person, application, website, or device.

  • Maintain the required environment

    Follow applicable room, camera, microphone, identification, and device rules.

  • Report technical interruptions

    Use the designated support process if connectivity, media, or content problems interrupt the assessment.

What may be recorded

Depending on rules selected by the administering department, an assessment may include camera, microphone, transcript, timing, navigation, or other integrity-related records.

Recording notice

Review the information shown before the assessment and ask the department questions before starting.

Configured restrictions

Copy/paste, navigation, device, or room restrictions may apply only when stated for the assessment.

Potential warnings

The configured experience may display a warning when an integrity-related rule or technical condition is triggered.

Potential flags

A recorded event may be sent to authorized department reviewers for context and follow-up.

A recorded event is not automatically a final finding.

Authorized department reviewers examine the available context and remain responsible for integrity determinations, assessment outcomes, and any next steps.
