Best Practices and Tips #

  • You should use your personal device to take the test because work-provided devices may have security settings that restrict access to the test. Without the administrator’s permission, it is impossible to change the security settings and allow the website to access your Screen.
  • Please use one of the following supported browsers: Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.
    Note : If you switch browsers, ensure it is included in the list of permitted applications for screen recording in your system preferences.
  • Please watch the video for more information on how the test-taking process looks from the candidate’s perspective.
