Late arrivals to a psychomotor exam are generally not permitted.
Extenuating circumstances, such as inclement weather conditions, may be considered, and the candidate may be granted permission to begin the psychomotor examination late. If admitted into the examination, candidates arriving late must be allowed to complete the entire portion of the psychomotor examination he/she needs. No candidate may be permitted to complete only a portion of the psychomotor examination he/she needs. If the facility cannot ensure that the candidate will complete all portions of the psychomotor he/she needs, the candidate must be dismissed from the psychomotor examination and instructed to make arrangements to complete the psychomotor examination at a later date. Late admission to a psychomotor exam is at the discretion of the National Registry Exam Representative.

A candidate who violates National Registry policies or the test center's regulations or rules, or engages in irregular behavior, misconduct and/or does not follow the test administrator's warning to discontinue inappropriate behavior, may be dismissed from the test center. Examination fees for candidates dismissed from a test center will not be refunded. Additionally, examination results may be withheld or canceled. The National Registry of EMTs may take other disciplinary action such as denial of National EMS Certification and/or disqualification from future National Registry exams. Behaviors that are considered to constitute irregular behavior or misconduct include but are not limited to:

• Giving or receiving assistance of any kind during an exam;
• Using, accessing, or attempting to access any prohibited items. Prohibited items are any devices or materials that will be helpful in taking the National Registry exam.
