MicrosoftReally clean the room you're in as much as possible and do plan 30 minutes for check-in. I only had my laptop (with webcam and mouse, no external screen), ID card and phone in the room, and all cabinets closed. No other screens, nothing with text on it. Empty pockets. I once brought my hand up to my mouth and the chat opened with the proctor telling me not to cover my face. After that, I was able to continue the exam and it went fine. So my experience is that they are strict, and hopefully nobody will open the door to the room or talk loudly nearby, but I guess it's all fair. It's the same in an official exam room, except that you choose which room will be the exam room so you will also need to make sure it's as clean as possible.
