AA Master RPA exam-day guide
AA Master RPA · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring the exact ID type and name match the provider requires; verify the accepted forms and that your name matches your registration before test day.
Exam appointment confirmation
Have your confirmation email or scheduling details accessible so you can locate the test center or online-proctoring link quickly.
Provider login credentials
For online-proctored delivery, confirm your username/password and any multi-factor method work the day before; reset early if needed.
System/equipment check completed
If testing online, run the provider's system test (camera, microphone, browser) in advance. Exact requirements: confirm with the provider.
Quiet, cleared test environment
For remote proctoring, use a private room with a clear desk. Specific permitted items and room rules: confirm with the provider.
Approved reference or materials list reviewed
Determine whether any notes, calculators, or references are allowed. Do not assume; confirm the permitted-items policy with the provider.
Scratch paper / writing tools policy confirmed
Whether scratch paper or a whiteboard is allowed and how it must be shown or destroyed varies. Confirm with the provider.
Break policy understood
Know whether scheduled or unscheduled breaks exist and whether the clock stops. Confirm with the provider.
Scoring and result-timing expectations
Know the passing standard and when/how results are released. Confirm with the provider.
Backup plan for connectivity
For remote delivery, have a phone or alternate connection ready in case of technical failure, per the provider's support instructions.
Rest and logistics plan
Confirm start time and location/link, plan arrival or log-in early, and get adequate sleep. Arrival-window specifics: confirm with the provider.
Provider support contact saved
Save the technical-support or test-center phone number in case of issues on test day.
Plan the day
Re-read the official candidate handbook for rules, permitted items, and scoring. Do a light review of weak areas rather than cramming new material. Run any required system check for remote delivery.
Confirm appointment time, location or proctoring link, and ID requirements. Resolve any name or scheduling discrepancies now, not on test day.
Prepare ID, confirmation, and credentials. Clear and set up your test space if remote. Confirm break and permitted-items rules. Get a full night's sleep; avoid last-minute heavy study.
Eat and hydrate, arrive or log in early per the provider's guidance, and re-check that your ID and login work. Keep the support number handy.
Read each question fully, watch your time against the number of items, and flag uncertain questions to revisit if the interface allows. Answer every item; there is typically no penalty for guessing, but confirm with the provider.
If a technical problem occurs, pause and contact proctor/support immediately rather than troubleshooting alone, following the provider's incident process.
Note how and when results will be delivered, and keep your confirmation and any case number for follow-up.
Rules to check
Present valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID matching your registration name; accepted ID types must be confirmed with the provider.
Follow all proctor instructions and the provider's conduct rules; prohibited behavior or unauthorized materials can void your result.
Do not bring or use unauthorized materials, devices, or people; permitted-items lists vary, so confirm with the provider.
Stay within the testing environment and remain visible/available to the proctor for remote delivery; leaving without permission may end your session.
Breaks, if any, follow the provider's policy; know in advance whether the clock stops and whether re-entry screening occurs. Confirm with the provider.
Scoring and the passing standard are set by the provider; review the official scoring policy rather than relying on assumptions.
Report technical or conduct issues immediately through the provider's official channel and keep any reference number.
If you are unsure about any test-day policy, ask the provider before the exam rather than deciding on the day.
