Which statement best describes the policy on using personal devices not approved for the exam?

• A. You must loan devices from the center.
• B. You may use personal devices if silent.
• C. Using any unauthorized references or devices is prohibited.
• D. Personal devices are allowed with manager's approval.

Answer: (C)

Unauthorized personal devices or references are prohibited during the exam. This rule keeps the test secure and fair by allowing only items that have been explicitly approved in advance. If a device or reference hasn’t been approved, it’s not allowed to be used, even if it’s silent or a manager’s approval is claimed after the fact. Any policy that suggests exceptions, like loaning center devices or permitting personal devices with approval, would undermine that security, so they don’t fit. The bottom line is that using any unauthorized references or devices is not allowed.
