Which statement describes the consequence of using the computer for non-exam functions?

• A. It is allowed if authorized by the proctor.
• B. It may lead to dismissal from the online administration.
• C. It will result in a minor warning only.
• D. It has no impact on your eligibility.

Answer: (B)

Maintaining exam integrity is essential during online administrations. Using the computer for non-exam functions violates testing rules, because the device should be dedicated to the exam and any non-exam activity can give an unfair advantage or raise questions about the test environment.

The consequence is dismissal from the online administration, which ends the current session and can affect eligibility for that attempt. Proctor authorization does not override policy—this isn’t a situation where a supervisor can approve non-exam use without penalty. It isn’t just a minor warning, and it does impact your eligibility because the attempt is terminated and may trigger further action per the testing program’s rules.
