The OPM 1203-FX exam is no different from a regular classroom exam—except you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the written portion of the exam. The written portion of the exam consists of: One 20-question multiple-choice mock test The following 30 questions from the final exam The written section of the exam is a self-paced exam. You must take the exam on a computer and, to successfully pass the exam, you must achieve a passing score of 70%. Your first attempt at the exam requires taking the test in a private test room under appropriate and safe operating conditions. Your next two attempts can be taken either in a regular classroom or by taking it in a private test room. No more than three attempts will be accepted from any applicant. You will be required to take two attempts at the exam. You may receive one additional attempt. When you take the exam by phone, you will be required to pay the 60. You may also purchase a written exam voucher for 40. You can take an exam at a different location than the one where you completed the written portion in previous school years. For example, if you are completing your first attempt in a classroom, you may take the exam at a new location (for example, a test center or private testing facility). However, you must show proof of being able to safely conduct the exam. For more information about testing locations, click here. If you are taking you test from a student testing center, you have the opportunity to review the content of the exam. Do I need to be a current or recent high school student to take OPM 1203-FX? No.

You must complete OPM 1136, OMB 1202, and OMB 1240 to maintain your security clearance. To be eligible for certain non-protected access categories (NPC and SMA), you must have completed OPM 1203-FX by December 30 of the calendar year before you want to receive the benefit until you complete the OPM 1203-FX by January 30 of the calendar year after that you want to receive the benefit. If you have not completed OPM 1203-FX by December 5, 2017, you will not be eligible to enroll in the program, and you will not be given the option to renew. Note that you will continue to be subject to security clearance eligibility requirements even after you complete OPM 1203-FX. You do need to complete OPM 1203-FX by the expiration date on the form as indicated on this schedule. You must complete it by the expiration date stated, even if you enroll during a window that might open earlier to allow you to renew. How does OPM 1203-FX differ from OPM 1136? In OPM 1203-FX, one of four security clearances is created: N/P, Security, Non-Security or Special. N/P status is for personal, non-classified employees only. N/P is not for contractors, government employees, or foreign government contacts (that is, for foreign nationals). Non-security employees (USE) are government contractors or foreign government contacts (EPIC) who are not granted N/P clearance. FBI status is granted to a non-government subcontractor for the sole purpose of carrying out work performed for an agency outside a USE's government contracting environment (i.e. outside the United States). EPIC status is granted to a foreign government contact (FGI) for the sole purpose of carrying out work performed for an agency outside a USE's government contracting environment (i.e. outside the United States). Special clearances are for Uses and Epics to share classified information outside the non-government contractors, FBI, and EPIC environments. Special clearances may be assigned to those with a demonstrated need for an additional level of security clearance. They are granted on a case by case basis if specific requirements are met. OPM is not involved in determining eligibility for Special Clearance at this time.

While other Opus and a number of other OEMs have the ability to create their own OEM-style Opus (often for OEM use), the only option I could find for creating the OPM 1203-FX was a custom-made product from an outside supplier. I couldn't find that information anywhere online, so I contacted the manufacturer about this: The answer, from the company's owner, was that they aren't allowed to do any custom work on their own Opus, and that they have been instructed to supply the manufacturer with one of their Opus for custom installation. I have confirmed the information with the manufacturer and with the OPM 1203-FX owner. As far as OPM 1203-FX users can buy OEM-style replacements, the OPM 1203-FX is sold without custom hardware for 29.98, and the OEM-style hardware and cables are sold separately for 15.98. To install your OPM, the only way to do it is to order both hardware and cables. The OPM 1203-FX's a only way to differentiate itself from its OEM-style counterparts, is that there's a larger “T” logo on the right side of the unit's body — which I understand to be an option for some customers.

OPM 1203 FX is an individual security. As such you should follow your normal business activities, e.g. reporting to clients about events.

If your employer is unaware of this situation or did not provide details, contact your employer's human resources department or the company's legal department.

The OPM 1203-FX works in two modes, “single mode” and “multi-mode”. With “single mode” the system can only be loaded with one machine. The 1203-FX can load a total of 3 machines. The system will then “wake up” and load the machine(s) it needs. Each machine can be stored as multiple machine folders. The 1203-FX, as do all Opus, must be connected to a Windows XP SP2 computer to operate. After connecting the machine via DIN Rail, the driver can then be loaded and operate with no problems. Why does my system get “stuck” at the OPM screen? If your system is not seeing the “OPM 1203-FX” logo screen (and you are getting the generic “STOP” and “Halt” button), check the following: 1) Make sure that you are connecting the machine by cable. For example, connect the OPM 1203-FX to a router/modem in the same network. 2) Make sure that your system is properly powered on, and that it has at least 25% and a minimum of 30% of the battery remaining. To set this on your PC, in the Control Panel System Settings, click Power Options. The screen will look something like this: Click Change Power Settings in the Power Options screen on your PC. The screen will also look something like this: NOTE: If your computer does not automatically power up, but is rather turned on and off, such as with a network cable, this procedure must be done after turning your PC on to avoid problems. 3) Make sure that the serial number is correct. Click the System Diagnostic tab on the System Properties screen. The screen will look something like this: The system serial number begins with A, E, or L. If there is a D or T beside the number, this means “Data Cable” or “Internet Connection” is not recognized. This is not the case if the number is an L, an A, or an S. The 1203-FX will then see the Ethernet port that is connected to the PC. If you see this, press the Connect button or the button next to it on the console to enter the Setup wizard on your PC.
