Thank you for choosing us for your test. I will send you an email on the day of the test about 1:55 PM CST with a link to our ZOOM meeting. It will put you into a waiting room until we come for you. Please do not leave this room. The waiting time in the room will depend on other people testing. You could be in there for 5 min. to over an hour. Please be patient. Please pay promptly. You can use PayPal. send to pilot-1@suddenlink.net, or you can use ZELLE at pilot-1@suddenlink.net. I prefer ZELLE.

❏ You must have a working computer with web cam, microphone, speaker (NO HEADSETS) and cell phone camera with audio muted. MacOS requires that you unlock zoom before the screen can be shared. ❏ Your computer and phone must be connected to the Internet with reliable service. ❏ You must download and test-run Zoom on computer and phone. ❏ Temporarily disable any chat, alerts, blue tooth, virtual screens, or pop-up apps. ❏ Be sure the computer and phone are plugged in or fully charged. ❏ You must have only one screen or monitor on the computer. Remove any additional monitors or take a single laptop into a different room. The VE Team may end the exam immediately for non-compliance. ❏ You may optionally have a computer calculator app on your screen during the exam. Load it in advance if you need it. No other applications or browser windows are permitted to be open. ❏ Prepare a way of electronically signing documents. Documents are now signed as part of the exam. ❏ Prepare your exam room: The VE Team must ensure the integrity of the test environment. Be sure you can take the exam uninterrupted. ❏ You must not have in the exam room any other people or pets other than a registered service dog. ❏ Clear the room of all non-exam materials, notes, books, posters, computer screens or anything that could aid in taking the exam. ❏ Clear your exam table and floor of ALL items within reach or view that would raise suspicion, such as papers, sticky notes, electronic items, headphones, waste baskets, and anything unnecessary for the exam. ❏ Clear the room of any distracting things that could take your attention off of the exam. ❏ Warn family members not to enter the room during the exam. ❏ Have a fully charged cell phone ready to link to the same Zoom meeting to use to scan the room for the VE team and to be placed to observe you during the exam. ❏ Be sure the phone audio is off and computer speaker audio is on. ❏ Practice for your exam: It is your responsibility to be fully prepared since you will be taking the time of 3 or more volunteers. Use an online practice site to practice all topics and to take randomly selected 35-question practice exams. Be sure you are consistently scoring well above the passing grade before you schedule an exam

Again thank you for choosing us for your test.
