What is the consequence of leaving the examination room without an escort?

Leaving the examination room without an escort directly undermines the integrity of the testing environment. It violates established protocol designed to ensure fairness and security during the exam process. When candidates exit the examination room unsupervised, it creates an opportunity for unauthorized access to materials or communication with others, which could influence their performance. As a result, the examination is voided to maintain the integrity of the exam and ensure that all candidates are assessed under the same conditions. This measure helps uphold the standards of the certification process.
