How does "Splitting" and Examination Work?
Separate the NWAE booklet into two equal parts (staple to prevent loss of pages), give each candidate one-half of the booklet, and administer the NWAE to each candidate simultaneously. When both candidates have finished their respective halves, a proctor will examine each half, remove any markings made by the first user, and exchange the halves. However, the candidates will have no more than 90 minutes to complete their half of the NWAE before the proctor must exchange halves to ensure each candidate is given a fair opportunity to finish the NWAE in the three-hour time period.
-Splitting an examination between more than two candidates is not authorized under any circumstances.
