Create an ExamTools Sandbox Account

The ExamTools ecosystem has two distinct environments for Volunteer Examiners.

• The primary website is found at http://exam.tools, and is considered the Production environment. This is where all active Volunteer Examiners need to have an account in order to perform live exams. Make sure to sign up for your production account, if you plan on participating in live sessions.
• ExamTools also maintains a Sandbox environment that is used for troubleshooting program errors and general VE training. This is a separate database, with different user names and passwords from the Production environment. It is not required to create a Sandbox account to perform live testing; however, your Team Lead may require training sessions in the Sandbox. You might also be interested in using it to follow along with documentation and walk-through videos.
