Online testing: What you need to know
Is your exam offered online?
Considering taking your exam online?
Taking an exam with OnVUE, our online testing system, is flexible, convenient and easy. It’s also very different from in-person exams, with specific rules and requirements. If you think it’s the testing route you’d like to take, you’ll need to get familiar with the differences.
First, see if your program offers online testing.
Make sure it’s the right option for you.
Once you’ve confirmed you can test online, be sure it’s the right choice for your circumstances and environment. For example, taking your exam with OnVUE means you’ll need to:
Run a system test to ensure your computer and internet service are sufficient
Find a distraction-free space where you can take your exam
Consent to monitoring by human proctors and assistive AI tools throughout your test
Observe all the online exam requirements
