What are the exam policies at the Alaska PSI testing center?
Pearson VUE only allows for approved items into the testing room. Personal belongings must be placed in secure storage provided at each location before the exam, or you will be asked to store them in your vehicle. Electronic devices of any type are not allowed in the exam room. Neither is food, drink, or gum.
Anyone that accompanied you cannot wait in the test center, the building, or the building’s property.
All testing candidates will be asked to sign a Candidate Rules Agreement as part of the check-in process. Any candidate found possessing prohibited items in the exam center will have their results invalidated and be asked to leave the examination center. A report will be made to the Alaska Real Estate Commission.
Once you begin the exam, you may only leave the room to use the restroom. Ask the administrator for permission first. You will not receive extra time to complete the exam.
