This is the typical exam launch pathway you will encounter when using Compass for Windows or Compass for Mac:
- You (as the Test Candidate) log in to the software with the same username & password used for your ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ website user account profile.
- You specify your payment method. This could be a voucher you purchased (entered via a redemption key), or may be automatic if you are a student and it's covered by your school/college.
- You enter your exam group # (optional; typical in academic environments).
- You choose which program, exam, and version you will be attempting to certify in.
- You verify your personal information and agree to any NDAs, EULAs, or other terms of use.
- The Proctor (a.k.a. the Exam Administrator) verifies that all the info is correct and authorizes the exam to begin.
- You will go through a brief tutorial on how to navigate through the exam. These tutorials can be viewed offline prior to actually sitting for the exam.
- You click begin exam, the timer starts, and you answer the questions in the exam.
- When completed you receive the score report.
- If you receive a passing score, you either receive a certificate in the mail (fulfillment varies by payment method) or you can print it online at any time via your transcript.
