[Note for Instructors: Review the page in its entirety, and update for your course. Ensure that learners have a way to run a tech check for proctoring (ideally, enable proctoring for the practice exam). Delete this note when finished.]
Review your syllabus so you know the modules that are assessed, availability windows, proctoring information, etc., and can study and plan accordingly.
Ensure you have an acceptable location and time to take the exam.
Follow all allowances and reminders listed in your syllabus.
Ask clarifying questions early in the discussion forum.
