What can happen if a candidate engages in misconduct during an online exam?

• A. They may be dismissed from the exam.
• B. They may be dismissed, have results canceled, or be referred for disciplinary review.
• C. They will be allowed to continue with no penalties.
• D. They must retake the entire exam.

Answer: (B)

Maintaining exam integrity is essential in online assessments. If a candidate engages in misconduct, the enforcement actions are designed to address the immediate situation and any broader implications for licensure. The best answer reflects that a candidate may be dismissed from the exam, have results canceled, or be referred for disciplinary review. This combination covers stopping the current attempt and addressing potential impact on records and licensing processes. The other options are not correct because they describe only one possible outcome (dismissal alone), no penalties, or require retaking the entire exam in all cases, which isn’t universally mandated.
