What are the exam policies at the Oregon PSI testing center?
PSI will only allow approved items into the examination room. Personal belongings will be placed in secure storage provided at each testing site before the exam, or you will be asked to store them in your vehicle.
Any exceptionally bulky or loose clothing that could conceal recording devices or notes is not permitted.
Electronic devices, other than a non-programmable calculator, will not be permitted in the exam room.
Anyone that accompanied you to the exam cannot wait in the examination center, the building, or the building’s property.
You may bring a bottle of water, but it must stay with the proctor during testing. No food, drink, or gum is allowed inside the examination center.
As part of the check-in process, all testing candidates will be asked to empty their pockets and lift the ends of their sleeves and the bottoms of their pant legs to ensure any notes or recording devices are not being hidden. They will also inspect eyeglass frames or any other apparel that could hide a recording device.
Any candidate found possessing prohibited items in the testing center will have the exam results invalidated and be asked to leave the examination center. A report will be made to the Oregon Real Estate Agency.
Once you are seated and begin the exam, you may only leave the room to use the restroom. Ask the proctor for permission first. You will not receive extra time to complete the exam.
