Frequently Asked Questions
Any Reference Material
Books:
Can I take the exam from any location?
Yes! The BSLV exam is designed for remote participation. You'll need a stable internet connection and will receive VM access credentials before the exam.
What if I face technical issues during the exam?
Technical support will be available during the exam. Emergency contact numbers will be provided with your exam credentials.
How is the exam proctored?
The exam uses a secure VM environment with built-in anti-cheating measures. Questions require human interpretation and appear for limited time, eliminating the need for traditional proctoring.
