I'm taking the CQA exam remotely very soon. I have a couple of questions about the rules and proctoring:

3-Ring Binders for Notes: I read the proctoring guidelines, which mention that pen and paper aren't allowed on the desk. However, the ASQ website states that reference materials and note binders are permitted. I'm planning to put my notes (over 200 pages both print and hand written) into a 3-ring binder. Will a binder this thick cause an issue during the room scan or exam?

External Monitor Covered with a Cloth: My main desk setup has a large external monitor, but I plan to take the exam using just my laptop and a bluetooth mouse. If I unplug the monitor and cover it completely with a cloth, will that get flagged by the proctor?

Any advice from people who have taken it remotely would be greatly appreciated!

I have my exam scheduled next Friday and now I'm afraid I'll not pass it. I took the prep course and felt it was easy and straight forward. When I started the question bank - I failed the first 2 sets of question banks. I havent taken the 3rd set yet. I felt confident and now I'm stressed out about the exam. For those who got the question bank, how was the actual exam compared to the question bank ?

I took all the notes from the prep course and it's 140 pages. I'm thinking of printing the notes and use it during the exam. And now I'm wondering if I should get all the questions from the question bank in my notes too. Is it too excessive?

Any advice on passing teh exam is appreciated
