All Associate Provincial Examinations are closed book and written online with a web-based proctor.
The exam will be completed via an internet based computer delivery platform. Each exam taker will be provided with a voucher code. An email will be sent to each test taker after they schedule their exam giving them direction on completing the exam, testing their system and confirmation of the scheduled exam time.
