Performing entry and exit monitoring

Each time a candidate enters or exits the testing room, you must verify the candidate's identity. This process is also known as entry and exit monitoring. Test administrators must perform entry or exit monitoring each time a candidate enters or leaves the testing room (including when the candidate leaves to take a break or finishes the exam). Most exam sponsors require you to capture a palm vein pattern as the method of entry and exit monitoring, but some require only a manual ID check. Use the palm vein device at the proctor workstation to capture the palm vein pattern. This palm vein pattern that you capture at the proctor workstation is compared with the one that was captured during the admission process to verify the candidate's identity.

If the palm vein device at the administration workstation is not working, the backup solution is to move the device from the proctor workstation to the administration workstation.

In this case, a candidate's palm vein pattern is captured during check in, but the palm vein pattern is not verified when the candidate signs in or out of the testing room. Instead, manually check the candidate's primary ID each time the candidate enters or exits the testing room.

If the candidate's primary ID is a passport or other form of paper ID, for security purposes, you must inspect it closely to make sure that there are no loose notes between the pages or any written notes or formulas anywhere on the document. You must also re-inspect the ID document each time the candidate enters the testing room after a break. This is to ensure that the candidate has not written notes while out of the testing room on break. Certain exam sponsors may require additional precautions for passports. See the exam sponsor's client reference when a passport is used as a primary ID and taken into the testing room.
