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). The time when the candidate enters and exits the testing room for unscheduled breaks must also be recorded on the log sheet. The log sheet contains an "Unscheduled Break Time" section where you record this information.

For test centers located in Japan:

Do not use the log sheet. Instead, use the log boxes in the Japan version of the Candidate Rules Agreement that the candidate signed.

When performing entry and exit monitoring, manually check the candidate's ID to verify that the picture on the ID looks like the candidate. After you verify this information, check the "Check ID" box next to the logged time on the log sheet.

For more information about the log sheet, see Filling in the log sheet.

At PVTC Selects, only candidates taking IT exams are required to fill out the log sheet.

Some test centers, such as PVTC Selects, are required to perform entry and exit monitoring through the Entry Monitoring pane in Admissions Manager. Entry monitoring typically requires a palm vein capture. The palm vein is compared to the one taken during the admission process to verify the candidate's identity. For more information, see Using the Entry Monitoring pane.

The Entry Monitoring pane in Admissions Manager displays only at certain test centers. Your test center will not see this pane in Admissions Manager if it is not required.

If the palm vein device at the administration workstation is not working, the backup solution is to manually check the candidate's ID each time the candidate enters or exists the testing room. For more information, see Backup entry monitoring procedure.
