Hi Databricks Community,
I am preparing for the Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam and had a concern I couldn't find a clear answer to.
What happens if my internet/WiFi connection drops in the middle of the exam? Specifically:
- Does the exam timer keep running during the disconnection?
- Are your already-answered questions saved, or do you risk losing progress?
- Does Examity flag the disconnection as suspicious activity?
- Is there a grace period to reconnect before the session is terminated?
- If the session ends due to a technical issue, can you request a reschedule without penalty?
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has faced this situation or knows the official policy. Trying to prepare for the worst-case scenario before exam day.

@genz --
~ Timer only counts for continued exam
~ Answers are saved, no loss
~ Not if happens once, when frequent they may ask questions
~ Yes, the LockDown browser check for connection
~ Get a chance to restart again, check with your invigilator
