It is recommended that you arrive at the test center 15 to 30 minutes prior to your scheduled exam appointment. This gives you adequate time to complete the necessary sign-in procedures. Your test session should begin within 15 to 30 minutes of your scheduled appointment. Should circumstances arise at the test center delaying your test session more than 30 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, you will be given the choice of waiting or you may reschedule your appointment at no additional charge.

Failing to Appear for a Scheduled Exam Appointment

If you fail to appear for an exam appointment that you were scheduled to attend, and you did not reschedule or cancel in accordance with the policy, you will forfeit the full testing fee for that missed appointment. You will not be permitted to take future exams until an Exam Administration fee is paid to BOMI Canada. Refunds will not be given for exams not taken. All students seeking excused absences based on an emergency situation must contact BOMI Canada at 888-821-9319 within ten (10) days of the original exam appointment.

Inclement Weather or Other Emergencies

Test administration will be delayed or canceled only in emergencies. If severe weather or a natural disaster makes the test center inaccessible or unsafe, the test administration may be canceled. In the event of test center closings due to inclement weather, students will be contacted by Pearson VUE to reschedule their exam appointment free of charge. It is Pearson VUE policies that if the testing centre remains open and the student is unable to make it to the centre because of inclement weather that you will have been deemed to forfeit the full testing fee if you miss the appointment. You will not be permitted to take future exams until an Exam Administration fee is paid to BOMI Canada.

Identification Requirements

The Test Administrator will request two forms of ID from students. Expired forms of IDs will not be accepted. The first and last names on each ID submitted must match the first and last names provided during course registration. If the name on the ID does not match, you will not be permitted to take the exam and the testing fee will be forfeited. Students must provide valid, unexpired ID with a signature and a photograph that looks like the student. If the student does not have sufficient ID, they will be turned away. Unacceptable forms of ID include, but are not limited to, an expired ID and ID without an expiration date. Be Sure To Check The Name On The Document You Receive From Pearson VUE Against Your Identification Documents To Make Sure That They Will Match, Also Be Sure That They Have The Correct Course Listed.

Test Security

To ensure the integrity of the BOMI International designation and certificate programs, specific measures are enforced during the administration of your exam. Prior to taking the exam, you will be required to accept a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which prohibits any disclosure of exam content. Failure to comply with the agreement will prevent you from taking the exam.

Biometrics

All Pearson VUE operated Professional Centers collect biometric data including digital photo, digital palm vein scan, and digital signature according to applicable laws. In addition to the Pearson Professional Centers, students in some locations may test at a Pearson VUE® Authorized Test Center. In these locations, biometric services may not be available.

Test Center Regulations

Nothing may be brought into the exam room with you. Small lockers are provided for students to secure purses, wallets, watches, keys, cellular telephones, pagers, etc. Lockers may not accommodate briefcases, laptop computers or large purses and bags. Considerations are made for comfort items that the Administrator must inspect (pillow/crutches/tissues, etc.).

Students taking the Real Estate Investment and Finance exam may use a hand-held financial calculator that cannot be programmed in scientific mode. Use of programming cards that offer directions on using the calculator are not permitted. The models referenced in the student textbook include: HP10b, HP10bII, HP12C, and HP19BII.
