Timing plan and checklist, on one page
A pace table for the ten simulations, and what to check five days before, the day before and on the morning.

Your pace on the countdown clock
- About 18 minutes a simulation: two to three minutes a section.
- Type the time you start each simulation in the notepad: one number, no arithmetic.
- Behind at the halfway point of a simulation: read faster, never select less.
- The clock keeps running through a break of up to five minutes: it comes off this table.
- This pace is ours, not CRPO's; CRPO publishes the strict 3-hour limit.
| Simulation | Start by (elapsed) | Clock shows about |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0:00 | 3:00 |
| 2 | 0:18 | 2:42 |
| 3 | 0:36 | 2:24 |
| 4 | 0:54 | 2:06 |
| 5 | 1:12 | 1:48 |
| 6 | 1:30 | 1:30 |
| 7 | 1:48 | 1:12 |
| 8 | 2:06 | 0:54 |
| 9 | 2:24 | 0:36 |
| 10 | 2:42 | 0:18 |
Five days before
- MonitorEDU pre-check by 6 pm Eastern five days before: the exam computer and browser, in the room where you will write.
- Downloads done: the lockdown browser and the Google Meet app.
- A computer (not a tablet, iPad or Chromebook) with Chrome, a webcam and administrator rights; a phone and a stand for the second camera.
The day before
- Two valid government-issued IDs, both with a photo to be safe (CRPO's tip sheet says two photo IDs; its manual's checklist, at least one), and the unique identifier code CRPO gives you (it starts with T).
- Everyone you live with told, in writing, that nobody may enter the room.
- Desk cleared: no pen, paper, notes, books, watch or Bluetooth device.
- No cases today: read your error log once, then stop.
On the morning
- Run the MonitorEDU check again.
- Pockets empty, the phone set up as the second camera, everything plugged in, water in a clear container.
- Be online 15 minutes before your start time and stay in the queue: the three hours begin at launch.
If something goes wrong
- Tell the proctor. Technical help: MonitorEDU live chat, and info@compassexams.ca.
- Note it in the post-exam survey and email exam@crpo.ca within 7 days of writing.
Cover every section. When a simulation runs long, take the time out of your reading speed, never out of your coverage.
