If you suspect issues with your network security settings during testing, who should you contact for assistance?

• A. Your ISP provider for assistance.
• B. The proctor.
• C. A tech support hotline.
• D. The exam vendor.

Answer: (A)

When testing reveals network security issues, the controlling factor is your home or organizational network settings, which are managed by your internet service provider. The ISP can verify line status, outages, and adjust router or firewall configurations or ISP-level restrictions that could block the exam software. The proctor handles exam delivery and observation but cannot modify your network settings. The exam vendor can assist with platform-related issues, but they don’t fix local network security. A tech support hotline might help with your device or software, but resolving security settings at the network level usually requires the ISP. Contact your ISP first to diagnose and remedy any network security obstacles.
