Scheduling your Exam

There are two ways to take your exam. Depending on the exam you are taking, you can take your exam either in a Prometric Test Center where we provide the computer or through a remotely proctored internet enabled location of your choice where you must provide a computer with a camera, microphone and an internet connection.

1. To schedule your exam at a Prometric Testing Center

Select the appropriate icon on left hand side to get started:

2. To schedule a Remotely Proctored Exam

Online, remote exams are offered using Prometric’s ProProctor™ application. You will be able to take the exam online while a Prometric proctor is overseeing the examination process remotely.

Live Remote Proctoring is not available via MAC as ANCC exams are not compatible with MAC (Apple) operating systems. While your computer may pass the systems readiness check for MAC, you will not be able to access the exam content with a MAC. If you attempt to test with a MAC, you risk forfeiting your appointment and will need to obtain an exam reassignment for a new testing window. The fee for a reassignment is $100 and the form can be found, here: https://www.nursingworld.org/~49ca04/globalassets/certification/certification-policies/reassignmentrequestform.pdf

To confirm that your computer and network will allow testing through ProProctor™ click here and perform the system check.
