Candidates who are suspected of proxy testing

For more information about proxy testing, see Proxy testing.

Follow these steps when you suspect a candidate of proxy testing:

During the admission process, complete all admission steps to collect the candidate's admissions data, and click Admit in Admissions Manager.

Do not revoke the candidate's admission. Make sure to click Admit before you say anything to the candidate about the identification.

If possible, create a copy of the candidate's photo identification.
Tell the candidate that there is a problem with the identification and that he or she will be unable to test.

If the candidate has any questions, advise the candidate to contact the Pearson VUE Call Center for further information. Do not allow the candidate to test.

Call the program coordinator to report the incident.
Create a case, selecting these options:

Exam delivery

Candidate error or misconduct

Attach the copy of the candidate's photo ID to the case (if possible).

Call VSS to have the admissions data retrieved and saved for the candidate, and attach the admissions data to the case.
