No action is necessary. The timer will stop when the failure occurs and will resume when the failure is rectified. There will be no time loss in allocated examination time due to disruption/failure.

2

The candidate's machine is locked during the exam. (e.g. Loss of connectivity with the Primary Server).

The candidate may be shifted from their allotted seat to a buffer seat in the same or other labs during the examination if required. There will be no time loss in allocated examination time due to this shift.
