Hi all, I have my first remote version of a FINRA exam coming up. It's a four hour exam and in reading the Proctor overview, there is no drinks/water allowed, and no break allowed for my particular exam. If I go to the bathroom, the clock would not stop.
Any tips overall for the remote test
Also, how do the breaks work, if I want to get up and get a cup of water, can I do that?
Thank you!

Bro how tf do they do that? Do they film you? I feel like it’s very easy to cheat on any remote exam, and these ones are no different
webcam, bro
Webcam, make you scan your room with the webcam, a lot of rules about what stuff you can and can't do/use. Sometimes companies have software that tracks eye movement so if you look off-screen, you get flagged.
Took 2 FINRA exams online. They shut down your computer, scan the room, and then make you twerk aggressively to show you have no notes in your back pockets.
Thanks, so you can actually take a break to have a break, get a drink, vs. just to run to the bathroom and back?
I guess what I'm asking is, 1) can I leave the room to get a drink (or just have one here ready), 2) do they scan the bathroom or how does that work?
I'll work on my twerking next..
Twerking is the most important.You can leave for like 10min i think - they just make you rescan and empty everything when you come back. They don't scan the other areas.
