** Electrical supply failure, internet connectivity failure, weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the test administrator’s or COA’s control may require a delayed start or the rescheduling of the test appointment. In the event that it is then necessary to cancel the test session, or if it is later determined that the candidate’s marks could not be reported, the candidate will be offered the opportunity to schedule another test appointment free of charge.
** On reporting for the test and establishing the candidate’s identity, he/ she will be asked to log on into the computer system and request test.

** At the conclusion of the test the candidate will be required to return the answer sheet (drawing paper) and question paper to the test supervisor. These materials are the property of COA.
