References: With the exception to the Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence Constructed Response Portion, exams are open book. Personally generated materials and notes from training or refresher courses are allowed, under the following conditions:

• Each examinee must make his/her reference materials available to the proctor for review.
• Absolutely no collections of questions and answers or weekly refresher course quizzes are permitted. Reference sources that contain such copy are not allowed unless the questions are removed or obscured.
• Calculator Policy: With the introduction of palm top computers and the increasing sophistication of scientific calculators, we have become increasingly aware of the need to limit the types of calculators that are permitted for use during the examinations. Any silent, hand-held, battery-operated calculator without an alphabetic keyboard will be permitted, however, all programmable memory must be cleared from the calculator before you enter the exam room. Calculators such as the Texas Instruments TI-89 or similar are ABSOLUTELY NOT allowed because they contain alphabetic keyboards. The examination is written so that a simple calculator will be sufficient to perform all calculations. The use of laptops or palm pilots is not allowed.
• Reference materials and calculators may not be shared.
• Cell phones, beepers, or radios/iPods/CD players/MP3 players, headphones, etc. are not allowed.
• If you have any questions, contact your proctor before the examination day to determine the appropriateness of any device
• Your proctor has final authority on the admissibility of all materials. Any materials not approved by the proctor will be confiscated, and returned to you after the exam. It is our obligation to ensure that everyone is treated fairly.

If you have any questions about your exam, our Customer Care staff is available to assist you. Send an email to help@asq.org or call toll-free 1-800-248-1946 or 414-272-8575.
