LOP requires a webcam and audio capability for your computer, and must be scheduled four (4) days in advance according to proctor availability. The CAM exam is 4 hours in total and is 185 questions. There are no breaks during the exam, but you can excuse yourself to go to the rest room or get a drink of water. However, the clock does NOT stop.
