How Does It Work?

- Once you have registered for the open examination session of your choice, email education@appraisers.org and let us know which exam you will be taking. This is very important so we will have your exam ready for you.
- Carefully review the Exam Session Procedures tab, above.
- To join the scheduled exam session, either refer to your reminder email sent prior to the examination session, or via the Zoom link provided, which will allow us to proctor your exam.
- Your webcam must be turned ON and you must be muted.
- Once you're checked in, exam proctor/administrator will send you the link to your specific online exam.

Tips for Online Exams
- As connectivity issues do arise, we recommend you write down your answers on a separate sheet of paper as you go. If any technical issues were to disrupt your exam, you will have a record of your answers available.
- Once you are finished, you will submit your exam via the online software and allow 5-7 days for processing.
- You also need to sign the required affidavit (which will be provided to you) and send it to education@appraisers.org. Grades will not be provided unless this form has been signed and sent to HQ.
