Episode 2 — Know the Rules: Proctoring, Open-Book Boundaries, and Allowed Resources
Navigating the administrative rules of the GISF exam is just as important as mastering the technical domains, as violations can lead to immediate disqualification. This episode clarifies the boundaries of the open-book format, explaining exactly what types of physical resources, such as personal indices and course books, are permitted in the testing center. We describe the role of the proctor in maintaining exam integrity and the specific environment requirements for both in-person and remote testing sessions. A core concept discussed is the prohibition of digital devices and the strict rules against copying or sharing exam content. Best practices include pre-indexing your materials to ensure you can find information quickly without relying on the book as a primary crutch during the timed event. Understanding these protocols ensures that you can enter the testing environment with the professional confidence needed to perform at your peak.
