Timed practice runs can be used for official successful passing tests because the appropriate number of CPAT proctors will be used during the timed practice runs. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The orientation and practice programs described above must be treated as a mandatory condition for candidates, you can be excused from these conditions upon Schoolcraft College receiving a written and signed waiver provided by Schoolcraft College from the candidate on a voluntary basis.
