REMOTE PROCTORING TESTING

Due to the public health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the April 24, 2021, Paralegal Certification Exam will be administered by computer using remote proctoring. Remote proctoring enables examinees to take the exam on a computer in the location of their choice under the supervision of a remote proctor using the examinee’s computer’s webcam and microphone in conjunction with our testing platform ExamSoft/Examplify. Please review the application for additional information regarding remote proctoring and system requirements.
