Technical Requirements

The technical requirements for the proctoring system are summarized in the table below:

To help ensure a smooth testing experience, we recommend verifying that your webcam, microphone, and internet connection are working properly before the exam. You can perform these checks using the links below:

  1. Webcam Test
  2. Microphone Test
  3. WebRTC Test
  4. Internet Speed Test

By carefully following these technical requirements and doing quick pre-test checks, you ensure your system is reliable. This ensures you can focus entirely on your test without any interruptions. Stick to these steps, and you’ll have a smooth, trouble-free, proctored test experience.

Proctoring Via Mobile Device

It is possible to take proctored tests on mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.

There are certain limitations due to mobile platform restrictions. Specifically, mobile browsers do not support screen recording, so it is not possible to capture videos or screenshots of the test-taker’s screen.

All activity metrics remain fully functional. For example, if a test-taker opens another browser tab, the corresponding violations (b1, b2, b3) will still be recorded. During the test, the test-taker will see a small pop-up notification whenever a violation occurs
