Before entering the testing room, what must you do?

• A. Complete a security screening
• B. Present your ID and exam ticket
• C. Sign a confidentiality agreement
• D. Sanitize hands and wear gloves

Answer: (A)

Security screening is the step required before entering the testing room because it protects the test’s integrity and ensures no prohibited items are brought into the exam environment. At the entrance, you’ll typically go through a security check that may include a metal detector or wand scan, and a bag/search of personal belongings. This must be completed prior to being admitted to the testing area, so the environment remains secure for all test takers. After screening, you’ll usually proceed with identity verification and other check-in procedures as part of entering the exam room, but the screening itself is the mandatory gateway to access the room.
