SAP Certification Security Guidelines , The SAP certificate proves that the candidate
has an advanced understanding within the Technology Consultant profile and is able
to apply these skills practically and provide guidance in SAP project implementations
in the role of a SAP Security Architect.

**1. Can I share my exam questions?**

No. Over the years, SAP has discovered that exam questions are often shared for 
less [selfish](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/successfactors-employee-central-certification/)
reasons – from a misplaced sense of ‘doing the right thing’ by helping a friend 
or colleague, or from being unaware of the need for security or the consequences
of sharing exam questions. SAP has also discovered that some individuals may not
realize they are risking their own certification status – and, in severe cases, 
legal consequences – by distributing test questions, which is in contravention of
the Non-Disclosure Agreement and General Terms they signed before taking their exam.

**2. How does SAP handle incorrect behavior during an exam?**

Please be aware that each exam-taker has signed a candidate agreement prior to taking
their test. SAP reserves the right to withhold their certification status if they
are found to be cheating or disclosing exam questions. Depending on the severity
of the case, SAP can delete exam results and require candidates to take the next
version of the exam upon its release, or [ban them](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/self-paced-videos-of-sap-successfactors/)
from taking any further SAP Certification exams.

**3. Can I access exam questions in advance by buying them from a company or through
a ‘brain dump’?**

No. Unfortunately, the increased demand for certification has resulted in a growing
number of people who try and attain SAP certification through cheating, for example,
by using ‘brain dumps’ to access exam questions. Some unscrupulous companies have
even tried to turn this into a business opportunity by offering to sell ‘exam questions’
to test-takers who do not believe they have the skills or knowledge to pass an exam
by fair means. Ironically, these questions are often either SAP’s own sample questions,
which are freely available, or outdated questions, but sometimes real exam questions
are shared. However, whenever a cheating incident goes undetected, [SAP](https://www.anipeabraham.com/anipe-abraham-successfactors-videos/)
is potentially putting its customers at risk. SAP Certification Security Guidelines.

**4. I am ready to take my SAP Certification exam online. As an exam-taker, what
security guidelines must I follow?**

– Online exam-takers need their SAP credentials to log on and to show two forms 
of valid (not expired) identification to the exam supervisor
– Valid means of identification
include:Signed government-issued passportSigned driver’s license (must include a
photo)Signed military ID cardBank/credit card– Tables and desks must clear of any
materials. It is prohibited to make any kind of notes.– Personal items like cell
phones, bags, notepads, and organizers are [prohibited](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-training/).–
Exam-takers must not leave the room during the exam.– All disruptions must be avoided;
nobody else is allowed to be in the exam room.– A “start exam” link will be displayed
to the candidate 15 minutes prior to the appointment time.– The proctor may not 
be available until the appointment start time.– Exam-takers may chat in English 
with the proctor via a chat window.– In the event of suspected cheating, the exam
will be stopped and the incident reported.– Exam-takers should read exam instructions
carefully before starting.– They are not being timed during this portion of the 
certification exam, so should ensure they understand all instructions before starting
the exam.– In the event of a fire alarm or other type of building evacuation, candidates
should take all necessary measures to protect their own safety and the safety of
others. Once the incident has been resolved, candidates should email or chat with
their local education specialist to get advice on possible next steps to complete
the exam. [SAP](https://www.anipeabraham.com/) Certification Security Guidelines.
