Title: Nantel RP Fundamentals Test. Shouldn't you have an RP qualified proctor?
Post by: Cricket on Mar 17, 2016, 08:42: Having a subject matter expert, an RP instructor, proctor the RP fundamentals exam should be required. Some plants do this and some do not. When taking a test of such importance, you should have someone with a clue proctoring said test should you have a question about it. I ask on behalf of many RP's that may struggle with this test. What say you, my fellow RP's??

And I am not suggesting any cheating!

Well... it's a multiple choice test. The proctor should not be helping, either by clarifying questions or hinting at answers. . The proctor is there to see that you follow the integrity requirements of the testing agency / utility and keep the paperwork organized. I see no reason that the proctor be any more qualified than an admin / secretary level.
