During the October 9, 2024 administration of the Written Component of the Physiotherapy Competency Examination (PCE), a candidate was observed engaging in exam misconduct by attempting to copy the contents of the exam – an action that represents a direct violation of CAPR’s ‘Rules of Conduct and Examination Security.’ The candidate’s exam was terminated immediately. Following a thorough investigation – which included a review of the video and audio footage and an opportunity for the candidate to submit a written response – the exam misconduct was confirmed.
As a result of this exam misconduct, CAPR has imposed the following outcomes on the offending candidate:
- a temporary ban from taking the PCE for a period of two (2) years
- the elimination of remote proctoring as a testing option
CAPR is deeply committed to ensuring a fair and equitable testing experience for all candidates, and to ensuring the integrity of the PCE. Actions that may compromise the integrity of the examination process will be met with appropriately serious consequences.
