In-Training Exam Guide for Faculty
IMPORTANT: For the online proctoring, there is a required onboarding and demo that must be completed at least 72 hrs. prior to taking the actual DXIT Exam. Failure to complete the onboarding process may delay or prevent you from taking the exam.
The exam must be taken within the exam window provided (Jan 3 – Jan 31, 2022). You cannot start and stop the exam. Once started, the exam must be completed within the provided timeframe. Although you may take the exam on any day or any time during the testing window, it is recommended that the exam be taken during the normal ACR support working hours Mon – Fri from 8 am – 4 pm.
