Testing Area

The testing area should be free from any other activity during a test session, however, during non- testing times, the testing area may be available for other activities.

• The testing area should be located so candidates are not disturbed by foot traffic, conversations, or outside noise.
• Noise Canceling Headphones or disposable earplugs must be provided to candidates upon the start of the exam or located at each Kryterion workstation.
• Kryterion does not allow candidates to bring tobacco products, food, drink, and chewing gum into the testing area.

Proper Control of Room Temperature and Ventilation

• The testing area must be comfortable and well ventilated, with a room temperature range between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit or 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.
• Ventilation should supply continuous air circulation.

Ample Lighting

• There must be enough lighting in the testing area so that the candidate can easily read test items, materials, and the computer screen without difficulty.

Sufficient Physical Space

• The testing area must be large enough to place the testing stations, computer tables, and chairs adequately, such that the candidate can easily move about.
• Each testing workstation must be separated by a partition or a space of five feet (1.5 meters) apart to prevent a candidate from viewing any other computer screen. If partitions are not present or an adequate amount of space between them is not available, only one person can be in the room taking a test at a time.

Workspace

• There must be enough table space to accommodate the computer monitor, keyboard, mouse pad, and testing materials issued to the Test tables should be a minimum size of 42” L x 30” H (106 cm x 76 cm).
• Kryterion recommends that at least one table size of 54” L x 30” H (137 cm x 76 cm) be available to accommodate the largest testing materials.
