Registering for Exams Registering for the Examination Lotus certification exams are administered by an independent testing vendor. Prometric Testing Centers are located worldwide. Candidates in North America may schedule on-line at http://www.2test.com or by telephone at 800-74- LOTUS (800-745-6887). Outside North America locate a Prometric Regional Service Center at www.prometric.com. To register for an exam you will need the following information: Name Personal Identification number (If you do not have one, a testing number will be assigned to you.) Mailing address and phone number Company name Name and code number of exam you wish to take Date you wish to take the exam

Credit card number to pay Testing Vendor�

The testing vendor will provide you with instructions concerning the cancellation policy and testing requirements. Testing vendors will provide confirmation, test time, test location, directions to the testing center, and exam procedures. Plan on arriving 15 minutes before the exam in order to sign in. Two forms of identification are required at check-in.

Exam Content All exams are closed book and you may not have any printed material, computers, or calculators with you during the exam. Exam Scoring You must answer a set percentage of the questions correctly to pass the exam. For final exams, the percentage required to pass will be provided at the start of each exam and you will be given an instant, on-screen report and printout showing your overall pass/fail as well as section results as soon as you complete the exam. If you do not pass the exam, you must re-register for the exam and pay the exam fee again. Your exam results will be automatically forwarded to Lotus Education within 5 business days after you have taken the exam. You do not need to forward your results to Lotus Education, although you should keep a copy of all exam verification results for your records.

Cheating Policy Lotus recognizes the seriousness of cheating. As such, Lotus will utilize effective and equitable measures for preventing the occurrence of cheating during examinations. Guidelines and regulations for appropriate test-taking are listed in exam guides and should be outlined by the examination proctor and understood by the candidate prior to taking the exam.

Examples of violations include, but are not limited to:

- Bringing unauthorized materials into the testing area (purses and notebooks must be stored out of reach during closed-book tests). - Talking to other candidates or referring to their computer screens, testing materials or

28

Registering for Exams�(continued) written notes during an examination. - Using written notes, published materials, or other testing aids except those allowed by your testing program (laptop computers, PDA computers, and programmable calculators are not allowed). - Copying questions and/or answers, attempting to take them out of the testing area, or sharing them with other candidates. If a score is obtained through questionable means, the examination proctor will submit an incident report to Lotus. Lotus will then conduct, in conjunction with Lotus' contracted testing vendor, an investigation of the incident, preserving every effort to resolve the matter objectively. If the investigation confirms that the candidate has violated standard conduct and regulations, the candidate's exam will be invalidated, and the candidate will not be eligible to take a Lotus Certification exam for six months, effective the day the candidate is notified. The candidate has within 30 days of notification to appeal the decision in writing to the proper contact at Lotus Education. During the appeal process, the candidate is not authorized to take a Lotus Certification exam. Lotus reserves the right to modify this policy without notice.

Certification Completion If you earned a certification as a result of passing an exam, Lotus Education will send you a soft copy certificate shortly after the date you passed the last required exam.
