Prometric has announced social distancing procedures with the re-opening of test centers. Test-takers must bring and wear a mask while at the test center. Anyone without a mask will be denied entry and marked as a “no show.”
Other changes:
- Test takers will be required to stand on the ‘stand here’ sign or ‘X’ in place on the floor, designating a safe distance away from the test center employee.
- Test takers will be seated in a manner that ensures distancing guidelines are satisfied during testing.
- Monitoring of the test room will be done exclusively using existing DVR monitoring. Physical walk throughs will be waived unless there is adequate space to comply with local government distancing guidelines.
- Return of scratch paper instead of dry erase boards.
- Test center staff to clean all surfaces, including every workstation, admin desk, and proctor desk, between each test taker and at the start and end of each day.

In my opinion, you should move the mask requirement for those test takers that are fully vaccinated. Spacing and other barriers such as plexi shields should suffice. People are coming in not to take high school algebra 15 minute exams, But often intense career defining industry exams up to 4 hours or more. They have a right to be comfortable. People with anxiety and breathing issues and also those who have to work glasses are compromised. I suggest that you please represent your policies. Maybe a proof of a vaccination card should suffice. Again, people are coming in to take very tough exams and they have a right to physical comfort while doing so.
Hello Geoff,
Thank you for your message. The post was written as a helpful guide for those who may be sitting their securities licensing exams at Prometric testing centers. Solomon wants to best prepare students for their entire exam experience, and highlighted these changes to ensure individuals were aware of these additional safety measures imposed by Prometric. Solomon Exam Prep provides study materials, but we do not facilitate the examination process and therefore do not have any say in what Prometric decides regarding COVID safety precautions.
We do apologize if any confusion was caused.
All the best.
