PLEASE NOTE!  EXAM REQUIREMENTS:  The 2025 Spring TN CXT Examination will be provided online via live remote proxy.  Upon completion of the
classroom training, students will be given access to the online exam, to be taken on the Exam Day (May 18) at the time of their choosing, but no later than the following Friday, May 23.  Examinees will be proctored via a live video proxy website using the individual’s webcam/audio feed from start to finish of their exam session. 

In order to utilize the online exam, individuals must be able to meet the technical requirements which may be referenced here: https://www.proctorfree.com/technical-requirements.  For those who are not able to meet these requirements, an in-person examination opportunity will be offered. All exam applicants must adhere to testing-taking requirements provided in your CXT Handbook. 

Following the initial training session, CXT examinees will receive an email from ProctorFree.com (our live proxy website) with instructions on how to set up your ProctorFree account in preparation for the online examination.  Additionally, examinees will receive an email notification once both the examination answers and the proctored session have been fully reviewed (typically within 72 business hours) to confirm results and provide important information related to the internship and licensure process.
