Candidate rules

Clear rules protect every candidate.

The assessment is individual, restricted-resource open-book, and closed to collaboration. The full controlled rules version must be accepted before an examination attempt can begin.

01

During the examination

Use only authorised resources, work independently, keep one active session, and follow the server-controlled timing and submission states.

  • Do not share questions or case materials
  • Do not access another candidate’s attempt
  • Do not upload macros or unsupported file types
  • Report technical incidents through the support channel
02

File requirements

Excel submissions must be .xlsx and no larger than 25 MB. Recommendation files must be PDF and no larger than 10 MB. The required candidate-specific filename will be shown in the portal.

03

Integrity review

Technical indicators are review signals only. No candidate is accused or failed automatically because of metadata, formula similarity, browser events, or location changes. Decisions require human review and documented evidence.
