phones, personal data assistants, pocket pc's and other audio and/or video
recording or transmitting devices are banned from the examination room.
Examinees are asked to
leave banned electronic devices in their vehicles during examination. When this is not an
option, the devices are checked at the front desk and returned to their owners at
examination completion. Applicants found in possession of such devices in the examination
room are subject to disqualification from employment opportunities for three years.
