Taking a certification exam can often be an exciting and yet anxious experience. At a Kryterion Testing Center, we want you to feel relaxed and as comfortable as possible. Below is an overview of what to expect as you advance through this process:
Once your registration and scheduling is complete, you will receive an email confirming your scheduled test event including your Test Taker Authorization Code. If you need to make any changes to your scheduled test event, you should contact your Test Sponsor.
When you arrive at the Testing Center for your test event, you are required to present to proctor your Test Taker Authorization Code you received in your registration confirmation email.
You are required to bring two forms of identification with you to the Testing Center, which the proctor verifies and records. The proctor will provide you a document to read in the waiting area while the proctor loads your exam on the workstation in the testing room. This document prepares you for your test session.
You will be asked to place all of your personal items, except your identification, in a locking file cabinet or compartment. Personal belongings includes bags, purses, keys, wallets, hats, briefcases, books, cell phones, calculators, portable electronic devices, watches and any type of firearms. We recommend leaving any item not needed for testing at home.
Once your test has loaded, the proctor will escort you to the workstation in the testing room and you may then begin your test. The test engine provides you with detailed instructions on how to take the exam and walks you through each step of the process.
When finished, you are prompted to notify the proctor that you have completed the test. The proctor will then complete check-out process.
Each Test Sponsor determines when and how their Test Takers will receive their test results. Some Test Takers receive their results immediately after they submit the exam while at your testing center, others may receive their results via email or postal mail. Results will not be printed out by the Testing Center.
You will need to navigate to the URL Corresponding to your test sponsor. If you have questions regarding the process, you may contact the Kryterion Testing Network (KTN) Team. They are available Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm (PDT) and can be reached by phone at 1-800-403-6199 (U.S.) / +001-602-281-3591 (International) or by email at ktnsupport@kryteriononline.com.

All personal belongings, except your identification, will be stored and not accessible during the test session.
Tobacco products, food, drink, and chewing gum are not allowed in the testing area.
The Kryterion Testing Network is required to abide by federal and local laws that require reasonable accommodations for an individual with a disability in job-related test situations (i.e. The American Disabilities Act). If you have a special need, please contact your Test Sponsor. You may be required to submit a form that identifies your limitations and the supportive resource you are requesting.
The Test Sponsor determines when the score report is available to the Test Taker. No printed results will be provided by the Testing Center.

A proctored exam means that you must come to a physical location and take the test while being supervised by a proctor, someone who works with your online instructor and ensures that the right person takes the exam following the rules set by the instructor. Different instructors have different rules. You can expect that there will be a time limit to complete the exam. You may or may not have access to paper, books, and calculators. You will not be able to use your cellphone during the exam. Children, friends, and family will not be allowed in the proctoring area with you. You will need to bring a valid photo ID.
To schedule a proctored exam, please contact the Testing Center at testingcenter@mctc.edu or 304-710-3395.
There will be a $30.00 (non-refundable) charge for non-MCTC students to have their test proctored.
All fees must be paid prior to having the exam proctored. Please visit the Cashier’s Office to pay for your proctored exam and present the receipt to the proctor on the day of your exam.
If you are responsible for your own proctoring fee, payments for testing must be made on or before the day of testing.
Please visit the cashier window on campus and let them know you are paying for a proctored exam.
If your college, employer or another organization plans to pay for your testing fee, there are two options available to you:
If neither of these options work for you, feel free to contact the Testing Center for other options.
We return tests by secured email, mail or fax. If mailing is required, postage must be paid by the tester or the institution requiring the proctored exam.
