So when I was taking the test it asked me to take a picture of myself then take a picture of my ID. Then it prompted me to complete a checklist of a room scan. I wasn't sure what to do because my camera showed it was recording with the red light on top of my surface pro but I could not see anything but the checklist while I was showing the room. (Such as imagine taking a video on your phone but only seeing your home screen) So I had no perspective of what I was showing. Did I miss a step? Was I supposed to scan the room when I took a picture of my ID? I am genuinely confused

    Like others have already said, it was the same for me. I received confirmation that my writing sample was approved yesterday, so I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Good luck fellow September test takers!

    I did the same thing today. (I believe) the room scan was occurring while the checklist was on the screen -- so to answer your question, the scan was not supposed to happen when you took the ID picture. Hope this helps.
