Scheduling a Computer-Based Examination
After your online
registration form and exam fee is processed, the ABCRS will mail you an
examination admission authorization letter. Upon receiving this letter, you
must schedule your examination directly with Pearson VUE by calling
1-800-507-7744 Monday through Friday,
Once you are officially
registered with Pearson VUE, they will send you an e-mail confirmation of your
schedule including the exam date, time, and location. See www.pearsonvue.com/abcrs for
a list of testing center locations, along with directions and parking information.
Note: The ABCRS does not receive your exam scheduling information. You should contact
Pearson VUE directly with any questions about your exam date or location.
Taking the Computer-Based Examination
The MOC Examination
is approximately two hours long. If you must take an unscheduled break during
an exam session, please keep in mind that the time you are away will be
deducted from your examination time. Also, all unscheduled breaks will
automatically trigger an incident report and possible post-exam keystroke
review. Any unscheduled break of more than 15 minutes will invalidate the
examination.
The computer-based exam format is nearly identical to paper exams you have taken in the past. The computer interface is easy to use, and requires no previous computer experience. Exam administrators will be on hand to assist you with any technical questions, and you will be able to practice at your computer before the exam begins. You may revisit past questions at any time during an exam session. You may also mark questions for review later in the exam session.
