All continuing education self-study courses (As of 2026) require that you take your course final without referring to any books, materials or notes of any kind in the presence of a disinterested third person, called a proctor, who must monitor the student while they take their exam and send it for grading to the course provider. This proctor must also complete a form attesting to the fact the student followed all the test taking rules. CLICK HERE (EXAM RULES AND ATTESTATION FORM)
