- Part I exam: Students will complete the Part I exam submission via Canvas Quizzes within 120 minutes.
- Part II exam: After students submit their Part I exam, they will take a picture on their paper (or use Adobe Scan app to take a picture and save it as .pdf) and upload the picture(or .pdf) to Assignments via 15 minute.
