What does the Foundation specify about performance when there are internet connection issues during the exam?

• A. The Foundation guarantees full performance regardless of connectivity.
• B. The Foundation offers automatic retake at no cost due to connectivity problems.
• C. The Foundation does not guarantee performance if internet connection issues occur.
• D. The Foundation requires a reattempt whenever there is an outage.

Answer: (C)

When internet connectivity can’t be relied on, the exam should not be treated as a guarantee of performance. The Foundation’s stance is that performance cannot be guaranteed if internet issues occur. This sets the expectation that external connectivity problems may impact your ability to complete or perform during the exam, so you should plan to mitigate those risks.

In practice, this means you should take steps to ensure a stable connection (backup internet options, a reliable device, power, etc.) and follow the Foundation’s procedures if an outage happens. The policy doesn’t promise automatic free retakes or mandatory reattempts for outages, and it doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to finish simply because of connectivity problems; instead, the emphasis is on the fact that performance isn’t guaranteed under those conditions.
