  1. Examiner

    Hey there, I'm professor Foster Provost from NYU Stern. I am ready to conduct your exam today. Am I speaking to [DEMO STUDENT]? Can you please tell me your name and your NET ID?

  2. Caller

    No, I can't, sorry.

  3. Examiner

    Okay. Without your name and Net ID, I cannot proceed with the exam. If your Net ID is not [DEMO NETID], please hang up and email the instructor immediately. Do you want to try again and state your name and Net ID?

  4. Caller

    Yeah, I'm Tim O'Keefe and my net ID is 00000.

  5. Examiner

    That Net ID does not match [DEMO NETID], so I cannot examine you. Please hang up and email the instructor immediately. Once you have that sorted, come back and we will continue.
