Quesion and KB article Script
Can I take the exam using my smartphone or tablet?

In cases where it is explicitly specified and stated in your instructions by the test organizer, it is possible to take the test using a mobile device like a phone or tablet.

If your instructions do not mention the option or requirement to use a smartphone, you will need a desktop computer or laptop in order to take the test.

Taking the test on a smartphone is technically impossible unless stated otherwise in the instructions.
