Troubleshooting
- If the exam taker loses connection to the exam, they are allowed to re-enter as many times as needed as long as the time is still running. The proctor will reenter the same password.
- Please note that the exam clock continues to count down once the participant has entered the exam for the first time, so it is of the utmost importance to re-establish a lost connection to the exam as soon as possible.
- If there are any additional technical issues, please contact The National Alliance immediately so that we can assist you before the time expires.
