Exam start and end times are converted to Universal time as they are recorded. Every user sees the scheduled times reported in their own
local time zone. Each exam has a time limit of 90 to 120 minutes and will automatically end at the time limit if students are still taking it.
TestOut recommends allowing students no less than 60-90 minutes to take the exam. TestOut assumes that proficient students will be able to
perform tasks quickly and correctly. Students who are not proficient in these tasks will take longer and may run out of time.

Students are encouraged to budget their time and to keep moving through the exam so they complete it within the time limit. Begin an exam at
the scheduled exam time as follows:

1. Students should open a web browser and go to http://www.testout.com/.

2. Log in using the LabSim username and password.
3. From the top navigation menu, select the Certifications tab.
4. Navigate to the certification.
5. Select Start Exam.
6. On the Introduction screen, select Start Exam to begin the exam.

Unlike the training exams built into the LabSim courses, the TestOut Pro certification exams are assessment exams that do not allow students
to check their answers or get instant feedback.
