Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section XXIX-113 - Examination Administration Procedures [Formerly section 119]

A. Administrative check-in procedures begin one-half hour before the examinations begin. Candidates must report to the testing center for check-in at least 15 minutes prior to the examination's start time. Any candidate reporting after the 15-minute start time may not be allowed admittance to the examination room. Every candidate must present valid government-issued photographic identification to be admitted to the examination room.

B. The board considers and treats the specific content and format of its exams as proprietary and confidential, being intellectual property solely owned by the board. Individuals taking any LSLBC exam, at any testing location owned or approved by the board, acknowledge that no personal items of any sort may be brought into the testing room. This specifically includes, but is not limited to, watches, bulky outerwear, paper or reference material, or any electronic device capable of storing, sending, or receiving data. Any item required to take the exam will be provided by the exam proctor and must be returned at the completion of the exam. A locker or other method of storage will be provided for personal items. The testing center is not responsible for lost, stolen, or misplaced items. Failure of a candidate to comply with examination requirements will result in a forfeiture of the scheduled exam. Any violation of the above requirements, or any effort to otherwise defraud the examination process, shall result in the candidate's exam being immediately discontinued and invalidated. The candidate will be notified that they are required to appear before the board at its next regularly scheduled meeting for consideration of the violation where the board will take appropriate action. This may include a finding that the candidate is ineligible to take or retake any exam, ineligible to obtain any additional classifications to an existing license, and/or revocation of any existing license or qualifying party status for a period of up to one year from the date of the board's order. If the candidate fails to appear at the scheduled board meeting, the board may issue the foregoing penalties plus a monetary penalty.

C. All examination activities are subject to being filmed, recorded, or monitored.

D. A candidate taking an examination shall not be allowed access to telephones or other communication devices during the course of the examination. Candidates shall not leave the testing area during the time of the examination.
