Kirkwood Test Center: Test room etiquette

Kirkwood Test Center aims to provide the highest quality testing services by maintaining a secure facility, skilled and courteous employees, and positive working relationships with students, faculty, and the public.

Test room etiquette

In order to maintain a conducive testing environment, we ask you to refrain from behaviors that may be distracting to others, including, but not limited to:

  • Reading aloud to yourself
  • Tapping pencils
  • Shuffling, crinkling, or tearing papers
  • Walking around the test room
  • Encroaching on another test taker's personal space
  • Moving our equipment or furniture, or using it for anything other than its intended purpose.
  • Removing your shoes

If you are engaging in these or similar behaviors while you are testing, we will politely ask you to refrain. We appreciate your cooperation and thank you in advance for helping us create the best possible testing experience for everyone.
