No, you absolutely cannot hit your vape during a proctored exam. This action is explicitly prohibited and will be treated as a violation of testing protocols. Proctoring guidelines forbid any form of smoking, vaping, eating, or drinking during the exam session to maintain security and prevent potential cheating.
Attempting to vape would result in immediate consequences for several reasons:
- Rule Violation: It breaches the explicit conduct agreement you sign before the exam.
- Physical Detection: The proctor, either live or via AI monitoring, will see the action and the vapor.
- Exam Integrity: Leaving the camera frame to vape, even briefly, is grounds for immediate exam termination.
Such an action would likely result in your exam being invalidated and reported to your institution. To avoid this, ensure you follow all pre-exam instructions regarding permitted items and conduct, treating the proctored environment with the same formality as an in-person testing center.
