✱ Online proctored exams are not for everyone. As part of the online proctoring of each exam, Google or its authorized agent may record and/or watch a live webcast of you at your session (including your immediate surroundings), can communicate with you, and may record your exam to ensure proper scoring. When you take the exam, Google will also capture other personal information which may include, but not limited to, your name, address, company, title, and photograph as well as your digital keystroke patterns. If you are not comfortable with an online proctor, please schedule your exam at a convenient test center.

✱ Similarly, if you do not have access to an appropriate internet connection, non-corporate device, a private and quiet testing area or require certain accessibility software, online proctored exams may not be for you.
