Exam Procedure

The exam will be given under strict security. You will be required to show your Admission Letter along with a government-issued photo identification in order to enter the testing room. Trained proctors will supervise the exam. Irregularities observed during the exam, such as creating a disturbance, giving or receiving unauthorized information or aid to or from other examinees, or attempting to remove exam materials or notes from the testing room, may be sufficient cause to end your participation in the exam, or to invalidate or cancel your score. Irregularities may be identified by observation or suspicion by the exam proctors or may be evidenced by subsequent statistical analysis of answer sheets. ICCIFP reserves the right to investigate each incident of misconduct or irregularity. The theft or attempted theft of the exam or the copying or disclosure of exam questions is punishable by law.
