What must you do after completing your break?

• A. Inform the proctor via chat before resuming your exam.
• B. Immediately resume without notification.
• C. Continue from where you left off without notice.
• D. Submit the exam.

Answer: (A)

When returning from a break in a proctored online exam, you must notify the proctor via chat before resuming. This communicates that you’re back, allows the proctor to re-establish supervision, and ensures the session’s timing and security logs reflect the break and restart correctly. Resuming without notification can leave the proctor unable to verify you’re the same test-taker or to re-enable monitoring, which can trigger integrity flags. Submitting the exam ends the session and is not the action required to continue after a break, and continuing without proper notification may violate exam procedures.
