What Should I Do If I Have a Technical Issue During My Exam?

If a technical issue affects your exam, report the issue as soon as possible.

Examples may include:

  • Exam freezing or crashing

  • Internet outage

  • Power outage

  • Testing center issue

  • Proctor concern

  • Approved accommodation not being provided

AAPC can document the issue and submit it for review. Supporting documentation, screenshots, error messages, or details about what happened may help with the review.

Submitting an issue does not guarantee a specific outcome.

What information should I provide?
Provide a clear explanation of what happened and include any available documentation, screenshots, or error messages.
