I came across this, and I wanted to bring it to your attention. Apparently, when you taking your proctored exam you're only allowed one sheet of paper with your own notes. I take crazy notes and I type them so I can search them faster. With most exams cover 3 to 4 chapters minimum and depend on what subject say for instance, History, you have about 40 to 50 seconds at the most to answer each question. So really? One sheet of paper? Straighterline, you're flaking! I have to deal with that with US History, once I am done I am so looking elsewhere for my studies.
Prepare your exam day materials.
Please prepare two forms of IDs, one of which must be government-issued photo ID as proof of identification.
If your webcam is built into your laptop or desktop, you will need to bring a reflective surface such as a Smartphone, DVD/CD, or hand mirror. This is needed so your proctor can verify that the monitor surface is clear of any materials.
For course final exams, the following reference materials are permitted during a graded examination:
•The book(s) or other assigned reading materials listed in the course syllabus
•1 sheet of 8 ½ X 11 paper (front and back) of self-prepared notes
•Blank scratch paper
•A pen or pencil
•A calculator (for math and science courses requiring calculations only, please note what type of calculator [graphing vs. scientific] is permitted for your specific exam))
•Scientific calculator is allowed for the following course: ACC 101 – Accounting I, ACC102- Accounting II, ACC150 - Managerial Accounting, FIN101- Personal Finance, MAT099 - Introductory Algebra, MAT101- College Algebra, MAT150 - Business Statistics, MAT201– Precalculus
•Graphing calculator is allowed for the following courses: MAT250 - General Calculus I, MAT251 - General Calculus II, PHY250 - General Physics I (with/without Lab)
•Microsoft Excel (for Business Statistics course only)
Additionally, you should be sure that you are compliant with all policies outlined in the Student Handbook and Academic Honesty Policy prior to your exam.

Use a small font - insert a table with the smallest margins possible. Organize by box. Done like I suggested, front and back, is more written words than I use to teach an entire 16 week class. Just sayin.
