ELECTRONIC DEVICES NOT ALLOWED IN THE EXAMINATION ROOM.
Electronic devices including but not limited to cell phones, pagers, personal data
assistants (PDAs), digital wristwatches, digital clocks, scanners,
cameras or any calculating device which, in the opinion of the Board,
may pose a threat to exam security SHALL NOT BE BROUGHT INTO THE
EXAMINATION ROOM. If any of these items are brought into the examination
room, you will be required to leave them at your own risk inside a box
or container inside the examination area. The Board assumes no
responsibility or liability for any of these items. These items will be
returned to you after the examination. If you refuse to surrender the
items to the Board's representatives upon request, you will be removed
from the examination for failing to comply with the laws and policies
regarding examination security and subversion. If you are found to have
such devices with you during the examination, the item(s) will be
confiscated and you will be removed from the examination. In addition to
the items being confiscated, the incident will be reported to the
Enforcement Unit of the Board for investigation as a possible violation
of the laws regarding examination security and subversion. Penalties for
such a violation can include, but are not limited to, your examination
being voided and your examination fee being forfeited. LEAVE THESE
DEVICES IN YOUR CAR OR AT HOME!

into the examination room are to be used solely for the determination of
the passage of time. They cannot have a digital display; they must be
absolutely silent and are not to exceed the dimension of 5-1/2" x 2-1/2"
