What is the procedure for launching your online exam?

• A. Reboot the computer, open the browser, and navigate to the exam portal.
• B. Log in 30 minutes prior, confirm your exam details, and launch the Bridge secure browser.
• C. Wait until the proctor calls you, then start.
• D. Install Bridge after the exam starts.

Answer: (B)

Launching the online ARE involves using the Bridge secure browser to start the exam in a monitored, locked-down environment. The best approach is to log in about 30 minutes before the scheduled start to verify your exam details and confirm you’re ready. Then you launch the Bridge secure browser, which opens the exam in a controlled session and connects you to the proctor. This ensures the exam begins only after the secure environment is active and the session is properly established. Rebooting, manually navigating to a portal, or installing Bridge after the start would bypass the required secure launch and could cause delays or violations. Waiting for a proctor’s call is not how the startup works—the correct sequence is to prepare, confirm details, and then launch the Bridge browser to begin.
