Approximately 10 days before the scheduled date
of the examination, ESOs should:
Ensure all examinations are accounted for.
Ensure that an examination is available for each
candidate with a worksheet. If necessary, obtain
an examination. Comply with BUPERSINST

Ensure that no more than two candidates will use
the same examination booklet.
Recheck the worksheets for errors and make
needed corrections.
Prepare a seating arrangement that will provide
maximum comfort consistent with the space
accommodations.
The seating should be
arranged so those candidates taking
examinations in the same ratings do not sit next
to or across from one another. Seat candidates so
classified material is not subject to compromise.

special duty assignments, and so on, to prevent
candidates from being penalized by lack of

type of soft table covering will result in marks
that will not be properly processed.
