TEST-TAKING GUIDE FOR REMOTE EXAMINATIONS

from Clinical Year Handbook: Fall 2022

PRECEPTOR EVALUATION FORM

Since most exams in PA school are meant to simulate the PANCE, students must follow the procedures below:

• All PAEA exams must be accessed via MonitorEDU, which will take you to ExamDriver. Should a student bypass MonitorEDU and access the exam directly through ExamDriver, the exam is automatically void, resulting in a score of zero and the student will be called before the Academic

Standing Committee. • Students should log into ExamDriver via MonitorEDU 15 minutes prior to scheduled exam time and be prepared to begin the exam at the posted time. • If a student is having trouble logging in, they MUST contact MonitorEDU support via live video chat or private chat function IMMEDIATELY. • Exam space should be quiet, well lit, and clear of everything. This includes all electronic devices, beverages, snacks, chewing gum, coats, and brimmed hats. • No student will be permitted to wear a coat/jacket, zip-up shirt/sweatshirt, brimmed hat, hood, electronic device, or watch. • All browsers on your laptop or computer must be closed. • Cellphone should be fully charged and/or plugged into its charger, connected to WIFI, and on the

Do Not Disturb setting during the test. • There is NO scrap paper permitted during remote online examinations. Students must show their blank dry erase board and marker to the camera prior to the start of their PAEA exam. Prior to submitting the exam and logging off, student must erase board and hold it up to the camera to show that all content has been erased. Failing to follow these instructions will result in a meeting with the Academic Standing Committee. • If a student needs to wear earplugs, they must be either standard foam or wax earplugs. Electronic earplugs are not permitted. Earplugs must remain in place for the entirety of the exam. • Students may not ask questions during the exam. • No student should get up from their seat or leave their seat to use the restroom until they have completed and submitted their exam. • Students are not permitted to talk to others during the examination. • Students are not permitted to take pictures or screenshots of examinations. • Students are not permitted to write down any exam content during or after the examination. • If an emergency should occur during your exam, notify your MonitorEDU proctor immediately.

MonitorEDU will contact the program. • Cellphone camera via MonitorEDU will be used throughout the entirety of the exam to monitor for suspicious activity, including cheating or other forms of academic dishonesty. If a student is flagged by MonitorEDU for engaging in suspicious activity, faculty will investigate the incident, and the student may be called before the Academic Standing Committee. Further action will be determined by the ASC.
