BOMI RPA exam-day guide
BOMI RPA · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Government-issued photo ID
Bring the original, unexpired ID that exactly matches the name on your registration. Confirm with the provider which ID types are accepted and whether a secondary ID is required.
Exam appointment confirmation
Have the confirmation email or scheduling receipt with your appointment time, test-center address or proctor link, and any candidate ID number. Save an offline copy in case connectivity fails.
Provider-specific login credentials
If the exam is delivered online, verify your username and password work at least 24 hours ahead. Confirm with the provider whether the proctor supplies credentials or you use your own account.
Quiet, private test space and reliable internet
For remote proctoring, use a closed room with a door, a stable wired or strong Wi-Fi connection, and a desk clear of papers, phones, and second screens. Confirm with the provider which room and desk conditions are mandatory.
Compatible computer and browser
Run the provider's system check on the exact machine you will use. Update the browser and disable VPNs, pop-up blockers, and background apps that could interrupt the session.
Webcam, microphone, and speakers or headset
Test each device before exam day. Confirm with the provider whether headsets are allowed or whether room audio must be on speakers.
Acceptable scratch materials
Many providers supply an on-screen notepad or an erasable booklet and prohibit your own paper. Confirm with the provider what is allowed before you bring or use anything.
Knowledge of the exam structure and scoring
Review the published number of questions, time limit, question formats, pass score, and whether wrong answers are penalized. Confirm with the provider any detail not stated in the candidate handbook.
Logistics plan for an in-person test center
Plan arrival time, parking or transit, and the route. Confirm with the provider the arrival window and late-arrival policy, since these vary by center.
Personal items plan
Arrange where your phone, watch, bag, and notes will stay. Most providers require them stored away; confirm with the provider the exact storage rules.
Accessibility or accommodation confirmation
If you requested extra time or other accommodations, bring the approval notice and confirm with the provider that the accommodation is attached to your appointment.
Backup contact and support number
Save the provider's candidate support number and your appointment ID so you can resolve technical or check-in problems quickly. Confirm with the provider which support channel is staffed on exam day.
Plan the day
Re-read the candidate handbook and confirm every logistical detail: appointment time, location or proctor link, ID requirements, allowed materials, and accommodation status. Contact the provider about anything unclear rather than guessing. Run the full system test on your exam machine and fix any device or browser issues. Do a final review of weak topics using short summaries and practice questions, then stop heavy new learning. Protect sleep for these three nights.
Confirm the appointment one last time, including any check-in window. Prepare your ID, confirmation, and approved materials in one place. Charge devices and test the webcam and microphone again. Scout the route or test the remote workspace. Do a light review of key concepts and question strategy only. Set two alarms, eat a normal dinner, and aim for a full night's sleep.
Eat a normal meal and avoid heavy caffeine if you are sensitive. Dress in layers and follow the provider's dress and room rules. Log in or arrive early within the provider's stated window, not so early that you wait anxiously. Keep your ID and confirmation within reach. Do not cram new material; a brief skim of your own summary is enough.
Read each question fully and watch for qualifiers such as 'best', 'first', or 'except'. Answer the questions you know first, flag uncertain ones, and return to them if the platform allows. Budget time against the question count and keep a few minutes for review. Use only approved scratch materials. If a technical problem occurs, pause and contact the proctor or support immediately and note the time.
Rules to check
Bring the exact government-issued photo ID required by the provider; the name must match your registration. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and whether a second form of ID is needed.
Follow all proctor instructions and the published candidate agreement. Do not communicate with anyone other than the proctor during the exam, and do not read questions aloud if the provider prohibits it.
Keep only approved items at your desk. Phones, smart watches, notes, and second screens are typically prohibited; confirm with the provider the full list and the storage rules before exam day.
Break rules vary by delivery format. Confirm with the provider whether scheduled or unscheduled breaks are allowed, whether the timer keeps running, and whether you may leave the camera view.
Do not attempt to copy, record, or share exam content. Doing so can void your score and may lead to sanctions under the provider's candidate agreement.
Understand the scoring before you start: confirm with the provider the pass score, whether questions are weighted, and whether unanswered or wrong answers are penalized.
If a technical failure interrupts the exam, stop and notify the proctor or support immediately, record the time and details, and follow the provider's incident process rather than restarting on your own.
Report any irregularity or suspected security issue to the proctor at once. Confirm with the provider how to document an incident after the exam if one occurs.
