A test administrator is authorized to dismiss you from a test session and/or your scores may be withheld and ultimately canceled for any actions that violate the policies and procedures set forth herein and/or communicated at the test center including, but not limited to:

• Attempting to take the test for someone else or having someone else take the test for you
• Failing to provide acceptable identification
• Obtaining improper access to the test, a part of the test, or information about the test
• Having any prohibited device in your possession in the test center (Cell phones, smartphones [e.g., BlackBerry, iPhone] PDAs and other electronic and photographic devices are not permitted in the test center. If you bring them into the test center, you will be dismissed from the test, your test fees will be forfeited and your scores will be canceled even if dismissal is not enforced on the day of the test. Test administrators are not permitted to collect and hold cell phones or any other devices.) If you are seen using any of these devices and/or transmitting data, including but not limited to text messaging, e-mail and photographs, your device may be inspected and/or confiscated.
• Using any aids in connection with the test, including, without limitation: mechanical pencils, mechanical erasers, pens, pagers, beepers, calculators, watch calculators, books, pamphlets, notes, unauthorized scratch paper, rulers, highlighter pens, stereos or radios with headphones, watch alarms (including those with flashing lights or alarm sounds), stopwatches, dictionaries, translators, compasses, protractors and any handheld electronic or photographic devices.
• Creating a disturbance — Disruptive behavior in any form will not be tolerated; the test administrator has sole discretion in determining what constitutes disruptive behavior.
• Attempting to give or receive assistance — Communication in any form is not permitted during the test administration. Discussion or sharing of test content or answers during the test administration, including breaks, and after the test administration is prohibited.
• Removing or attempting to remove test content from the test center — Under no circumstances may test content or any part of the test content be removed, reproduced, and/or disclosed by any means (hard copy, verbally, electronically) to any person or entity.
• Bringing a weapon or firearm into the test center
• Bringing food, drinks or tobacco into the testing room
• Leaving the test center vicinity during the test session or during breaks
• Leaving the testing room without permission
• Taking excessive or extended unscheduled breaks during the test session (Test center administrators are required to strictly monitor unscheduled breaks and report test takers who take excessive or extended breaks.)
• Referring to, looking through, or working on any test, or test section, when not authorized to do so, or working after time has been called
• Failing to follow any of the test administration regulations contained in the Bulletin, given by the test administrator or specified in any test materials

ETS reserves the right to take all action — including, but not limited to, barring you from future testing and/or withholding or canceling your scores — for failure to comply with test administration regulations or the test administrator's directions. If your scores are canceled, they will not be reported and your fees will not be refunded.

Although tests are administered under strict supervision and security measures, testing irregularities may sometimes occur. Please contact ETS as soon as possible to report any observed behavior that may lead to an invalid score — for example, someone copying from another test taker, taking a test for someone else, having access to test questions before the exam, or using notes or unauthorized aids. All information will be held in strictest confidence.
