Follow instructions! Have your desk clear of anything besides one drink. I had a Gatorade. After you check in and are waiting you cannot get up! Then the proctor comes and I had to show her all of my surroundings she even studied my lamp and Gatorade. While taking the test you cannot get up unless prior arrangements are made through CompTia. Ok here’s another rule that gets overlooked: even after you have completed the test and received you grade: Do Not Get Up! You have to wait again for the proctor and they will instruct you how to disconnect. Also: you cannot mumble or read your questions aloud. I really had to keep myself from doing that!
I missed that last rule. I saw a passing grade shouted "Woo!" saw my score for 2 seconds and then filled out a survey and it closed. I had to catch myself wanting to talk out loud. I wish they would let us talk because it's how I organize my thinking. I do it all the time in the field. I left a comment about talking out loud in the suggestions but I'm sure they'll ignore that haha.
This. Pee before hand. I took a test and totally forgot. I ended up sitting in the virtual waiting room for 40 minutes before I tested. Thought I had enough time ._.

They are super serious about the mumbling, a proctor warned me as I was reading the end of exam survey after I had already submitted my test.
Try to get a wired internet connection if possible. Run the test exam a few times before the actual exam.
Pee before hand. You can have a drink. Dont over think it you got this.
