Security Screening

Examinees may be subject to individual security screening procedures, including the use of metal detection devices. Examinees who refuse to submit to individual security screenings may be denied entrance to or be expelled from the testing area.

The only items examinees will be allowed to bring into the testing area are two forms of identification and a key to their car. (Remote keyless entry devices for vehicles are not permitted.) Examinees are permitted to bring a sweater or a sweatshirt without pockets, as the temperature may be below personal comfort levels. Examinees must use the pencils provided by the NBCE. All other items, including notes, reference materials of any kind, writing instruments, purses, backpacks, bookbags of any kind, cameras, cellular phones, electronic devices (including remote keyless entry devices for vehicles), weapons, watches, coats, hooded sweatshirts with pockets, hats, food, drinks, or any other items that may be questioned by security or test site personnel will not be allowed into the testing areas.

NBCE examinations are copyrighted. Reproduction of NBCE test questions violates copyright laws and may result in prosecution.

An examinee can be disqualified from taking or continuing to take an examination, or from receiving scores from an examination or all examinations taken if the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) test administrator or other NBCE representatives conclude:

  1. The examinee has provided any false or misleading information on his or her application.
  2. The examinee has taken an examination for another person or another person has taken an examination in the examinee’s place.
  3. The examinee has given or received aid in the examination as evidenced by observation or statistical analyses of answer sheets.
  4. The examinee has engaged in any act or conduct that has jeopardized or could jeopardize the security or integrity of NBCE examinations, including, but not limited to, copying or reproducing any portion of the examination, or memorizing questions and answers and furnishing those memorized questions and/or answers to any other person at any time.
  5. The examinee has engaged in any other conduct that might invalidate the examination results, including, but not limited to, removing items from the testing room.
  6. The examinee has engaged in any behavior that is deemed to be disruptive, offensive or inappropriate in any way to the testing environment.

The NBCE may contact school officials and annotate transcripts of examinees whose conduct is deemed inappropriate or disruptive to the testing process.
