What is the consequence of tampering with the operation of the computer during the exam?

• A. No consequence.
• B. Casual warning.
• C. It is considered misconduct and can result in dismissal from the test center.
• D. Results will be voided for one day.

Answer: (C)

Tampering with how the computer operates during an exam seriously violates testing rules and undermines the test’s fairness and security. Because the testing environment must be controlled for all candidates, any attempt to alter the computer’s functioning is treated as misconduct. The immediate and typical outcome is being dismissed from the test center, with the incident reported to the governing body and potential further consequences. Among the options, dismissal from the test center best reflects the standard response to this kind of violation. The other choices don’t fit because a lack of consequence or only a casual warning would not align with the seriousness of compromising the exam, and a one-day results void is not the standard response to tampering.
