Candidate Troubleshooting
If you experience problems during your exam, any of the following may be required:
- another room scan
- showing your id
- contacting PSI technical and/or customer support at 855-340-0087.
- PSI may need to access your computer remotely to help resolve any technical issues.
Please note: ABNN does not recommend testing with LRP at your facility or hospital as you will likely run into an issue with their security firewalls. In work environments with firewalls, you must have administrative access to disable the firewall. This must be ensured prior to taking an exam on a work computer. The compatibility test does not test for administrative rights and firewalls.

Misconduct Policies
Please refer to the list of Major and Minor Events/Violations that the proctor will be monitoring. Please note minor events will have warnings from the proctor. After reaching the number of minor events with warnings, your exam will be terminated. Major events will end the exam immediately. Any exam ended for minor or major events ends the testing process. You will have to register again for the exam, meet the eligibility requirements, and pay the exam fee. There are no exceptions. Depending on the violation, ABNN has the authority to restrict which future window the candidate can sit for and can require candidates to test in-person at a testing site.
Violations that result in dismissal from the testing session void the candidate’s exam results and examination fees are forfeited. ABNN will review each case that results in dismissal from the testing session to ensure that the appropriate action was taken.
All candidates must report to the test portal by 15 minutes before the scheduled testing time. You can launch the exam platform within 30 minutes of your appointment time. A minimum of 15 minutes is needed for checking IDs, surveying the testing environment, and going through the security measures and exam rules. Anyone not starting the exam within 15 minutes of the scheduled appointment time automatically forfeits the examination appointment and the ability to test using Live Remote Proctoring.

- create a disturbance, are abusive, or otherwise uncooperative

Inclement Weather, Power Failure, or Emergency
If you are unable to take your scheduled examination due to inclement weather power failure or unforeseen emergencies, you may reschedule your exam ONCE at no charge by contacting PSI. This reschedule must occur within your examination window. See Cancellation or Rescheduling for further information.
If power is temporarily interrupted during an administration, your examination will restart where you left off, and you may continue the examination. If you are unable to get reconnected after starting the exam, the timing for a second attempt to take the exam will be based on how much time and how many questions you were exposed to. If you are disconnected and cannot be reconnected and have tested for under 15 minutes and were exposed to less than 10% of the exam you will be rescheduled within your current eligibility window. If you tested for longer than 15 minutes and/or saw more than 10% of the questions on the exam you will have to wait until the next window to reschedule. A decision on the timing of your second attempt will be made after reviewing the test exposure.
Fees Not Refunded
A candidate will not receive a refund for any of the following reasons:
- Failure to complete their audit (if selected)
- Failure to log-in to test portal or log-in too late (no-show)
- Failure to re-schedule or cancel your appointment within the required timeframe
- Failure to have proper ID or adhere to required rules
