ABOUT EXAM SECURITY
ANWCB ensures prevention of cheating and malpractices during the online test. An admin will receive instant notification if unusual activity is detected.
The diagram to the right shows you what is considered “unusual” behavior. If any of these activities are detected during the exam (more than 3x), the candidate forfeits the Exam Fee and Eligibility for Board Certification.

*If test is NOT passed after 2 attempts (with a 70% score), you can pay an additional $225 for two more attempts.
Annual Renewal
Fee: $145.00
Your renewal payment is set up as an annual subscription, so it will auto-renew, charge the card on file and send you an email invoice; but you can cancel anytime. If payment fails, your Board Certification will go to inactive status and your name will be removed from the Board Certification Registry.
