(1) Are the Module Exams proctored?

YES!

You must take the Module Exams in a proctored environment. You can either take them at a CSN Testing Center or use the online proctoring service ProctorU.

In either case, you must make an appointment to take the Module Exams.

To take the exams, you MUST show a driver's license or an official state ID, military ID, or a passport. All must be UNEXPIRED. Otherwise you will NOT be tested!  The instructor WILL NOT accept excuses such as "I lost my ID" or "My ID was stolen" or "I didn't have time to go to the DMV".
