Arriving to taking your exam

After arriving at the proctor testing center, you will go through the student check-in procedures which include the following:

• The proctor will greet you and have you sign-in.
• You will be required to present a valid government issued identification such as a driver's license, passport or military ID, bearing a recognizable current photo and signature.
• The proctor will verify the name and signature of the student matches those of the student and registration record.
• The proctor will then request the student place all prohibited items in a secure locker for retrieval after exam completion. Prohibited items include written notes, published materials, testing aids, cell phones or cameras. Any materials that you are allowed to use during the exam will be provided to you by the proctor at the test site on the day of testing.
• You will then be escorted to the testing room where you will be seated at a testing terminal and the proctor will explain the rules of the testing room.
• The proctor will then initiate your examination.
• Once you have competed your examination, you will be escorted out of the testing room and may leave the testing center. Note: exam scores are not viewable at the testing center.

After you leave the testing center, you may log into your FMC account to view your exam score along with any areas of deficiencies.

Before you are shown your score, you will be prompted to take an optional survey about your experience at the testing center.

You will then have the option of printing your Certified Food Manager certificate if you have successfully passed your exam.

Otherwise, you will be prompted to repurchase the Food Manager Certification examination to try again.
