Which action would most likely lead to dismissal during an online ARE exam?

• A. Keeping your workspace clean.
• B. Following all proctor instructions.
• C. Using only approved materials appropriately.
• D. Obstructing the proctor's view during the exam.

Answer: (D)

Remote proctoring relies on continuous observation of your environment and actions to ensure exam integrity. Any action that prevents the proctor from watching your workspace or monitoring your behavior can trigger security protocols and lead to immediate dismissal. Obstructing the proctor's view directly prevents effective monitoring, which is why it would be dismissed. In contrast, keeping a clean workspace, following all proctor instructions, and using only approved materials appropriately are all compliant behaviors that support a proper, fair testing experience. To avoid dismissal, keep the camera and view unobstructed, follow instructions, and use only permitted materials.
