If an examinee is found possessing a cell phone or an electronic prohibited aid, the examinee will not be allowed to continue testing, the test site will report this information to the Department, and this act of possession of an electronic prohibited aid will result in an automatic score invalidation.
Prohibited aids (i.e., items that may give unfair advantage to an examinee and/or detract from a fair and standardized assessment) include but are not limited to cellular phones, MP3 players, compact disc (CD) players or any other electronic communication/recording/listening devices, removable storage devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), calculator or computing watches, scan pens, laptop computers or any other computer (except if approved for an examinee with a disability), or calculators except those provided by the test site.
Secure storage is provided at all test sites. Before testing, examinees are responsible for placing all personal belongings into storage, including any prohibited items.
You can review the updated testing rules and more information about the day of the test in the following two memos from the Department, which will also be sent to you with your admission ticket. Note that examinees cannot proceed with registration unless they have read and agreed to all testing rules and information pertaining to the FTCE and the FELE.
