This article provides tips on how to prepare your workplace for the best proctored exam experience.
 |
Make sure your room is well-lit. At the same time, no light sources should be pointed straight at your web camera. |
|
Ensure silence in the room and that no other person enters it while you're taking the exam. |
|
Make sure your internet connection is stable. We recommend that you use a wired (Ethernet) connection for improved stability. |
|
Check if your web camera is on and not covered up. |
|
Ensure that your mic is on, and its volume is not set to zero. |
|
Keep your ID or whatever document will be required for identification at hand. |
|
Keep your laptop plugged in during the exam. Most laptops have lower performance while working off the battery. |
 |
Turn off any third-party programs that may use your webcam or mic. Close all tabs in the browser except for the one with the exam. Do not use a second browser while taking the test. |
|
Unplug your headphones and take them off the desk. |
|
Unplug any additional monitors, mice, and keyboards. |
