Face-to-face tests will be recorded by video and re-evaluation will be made over the video by another person who has not performed the tests. During technology-based remote evaluations, the evaluator will monitor the tests simultaneously via video. During technology-based remote evaluations, video recording will be made and a re-evaluation will be made over the video by another person who has not performed the tests.
