Popups are small windows that appear in front of a web site like
RCM Examinations. They are often used to deliver ads and other messages. Popup blocking
software is very useful for blocking unwanted advertising, but it also prevents
you from viewing the popup windows used by the RCM Examinations website. To use the RCM Examinations web services such as Register for an Examination you will have to disable your pop-up blocker. Your application can not be completed if you do not disable your pop-up blocking software.
There are three ways to disable your pop-up blocker.

Then, click on the "Add" button, so that the RCM Examinations URL appears in the list of "Allowed sites." Click on the "Close" button to exit the window.
