Exam and Proctor Details

Exam Availability

Your exam will be accessed through The National Alliance’s Learning Management System (LMS). The exam will be available to you beginning at 12:01 am CST on Monday, March 29th and will remain open until 11:59 pm CST on Thursday, April 1st. You will have two hours to complete the exam. All questions are essay/short answer.
Plan accordingly for taking your exam. We do not advise taking the exam on Thursday after 4:30 pm because our offices are closed and you will not have access to technical assistance if needed. Exam access will not be granted after the exam window closes.

Exam Proctor

CIC online exams require a proctor be present while you take the exam. All programs beginning February 1, 2021 and after will require a disinterested third-party to proctor the exam. A disinterested third-party is someone with no direct business or family relationship to you. For example, an agency principal, supervisor, subordinate, friend or family member would NOT qualify as a disinterested third party. Some examples of a disinterested third party are: a coworker who exclusively works in a training/HR role or who does not report to you and to whom you do not report, a neighbor, or a local proctoring facility/testing center.
If you are more comfortable, you may also use MonitorEDU.com, a National Alliance approved online proctoring system. You can learn more and access their service at https://scicproctor.com/how-it-works.
It is important that you never launch your exam without a proctor present to avoid losing your exam attempt. For more information on National Alliance proctor requirements or to view instructional videos please visit https://www.scic.com/proctor-monitor-rules.

Prior to Exam - Submitting your Proctor for Approval

If you’re taking the exam you must submit your proctor information no later than the end of class on day two of the Institute. If you neglect to submit proctor details by the stated due date, contact examhelp@scic.com for further assistance.
After you submit proctor details, you’ll receive a pop-up message that reads “request sent successfully.” All proctor submissions are automatically approved upon submission. You will ONLY receive an email notification from The National Alliance if they determine that your original proctor does not meet the definition of the disinterested third-party as explained above.
The Friday afternoon prior to the exam window opening, The National Alliance will send exam instructions, including an exam access PIN, to your proctor’s email address. We recommend you confirm receipt of the exam instruction email with your proctor in advance of your planned test date.
Follow these steps to submit your proctor information:
  1. Login to your PROfile account at https://pro.scic.com/SignIn.
  2. Click “Course History” on the left.
  3. Find the name of your course and click the “Proctor” button to the right.
  4. Fill in the proctor information fields and “Submit” or if using MonitorEDU, select the MonitorEDU option shown at the top.

Accessing the Exam

During the exam window mentioned above, you will have access to the online exam via your PROfile account. Your PROfile is your official CIC tracking platform through The National Alliance. Use the link below to access your PROfile. If you have not accessed your PROfile before or if you forget your login information, you can request it from the login page. If this is the first CIC program you’re attending you will not have a PROfile account. You should contact The National Alliance for further assistance at 800-633-2165.
Note: We suggest that you access your PROfile prior to the exam window opening so you can work out any login issues in advance. This will avoid any added tension during the exam window.

Exam Tips and Notes

  1. Question responses will save automatically when the test-taker goes to the next page.
  2. Exam-takers should plan for a quiet environment without distractions.
  3. No notebooks, study materials, or cell phones are allowed during the exam.
  4. You may have a blank sheet of scratch paper and a simple function calculator during the exam.  The sheet of paper needs to be destroyed after testing and no programmable or financial calculators are allowed.
  5. Leaving the exam room is not allowed, except to use the restrooms.  No cell phones or other materials may be taken with the student when they leave the room.
  6. The proctor must be in the room during the exam and remain in a location where they can see the participant’s screen.
  7. The digital exam has a time clock to help the proctor enforce the time limit.  All exams will auto submit after time expires.  Participants finishing the exam before time has expired are permitted to submit their exam.
  8. Be sure to review your answers on all exam pages before submitting your exam.
