Examination Site Conduct/Nondisclosure (Test Security)

The Examination Administrator is NARM’s designated agent in maintaining a secure and valid examination administration.

Any individual found by NARM to have engaged in conduct, which compromises or attempts to compromise the integrity of the examination process will be subject to legal action as sanctioned by NARM. Any individual found cheating on any portion of the examinations will have their scores withheld or declared invalid, and their certification may be denied or revoked. Conduct that compromises or attempts to compromise the examination process includes:

• Removal of any examination materials from the examination room
• Reproducing or reconstructing any portion of the NARM Examinations
• Aiding by any means in the reproduction or reconstruction of any portion of the NARM Examination
• Selling, distributing, buying, receiving, or having unauthorized possession of any portion of the NARM Examinations
• Disclosure of any kind or manner of the NARM Examination
• Possession of any book, notes, written or printed materials or data of any kind other than those examination materials distributed by the Examination Administrator during the examination administration
• Conduct that violates the examination process, such as falsifying or misrepresenting education credentials or prerequisite experience required to qualify for CPM Certification
• Impersonating a candidate or having an impersonator take the NARM Examination

Any violation of conduct as listed above will be documented in writing by the Examination Administrator and will be presented to NARM for consideration and action.

Additionally, to protect the validity and defensibility of the examination process for all candidates, each candidate will be required to sign an Affidavit of Nondisclosure prior to taking any portion of the NARM Examination.
