Before taking your online exam, it’s essential to read through the guidelines and perform a quick computer system check. Doing so will help you avoid technical issues, stay confident, and ensure a smooth experience on exam day.
It is essential to ensure your computer is ready before starting. Check that:
If your exam involves invigilation (proctoring), test your webcam, microphone, and speakers in advance to prevent last-minute issues.
Technical glitches can be stressful and may even stop you from completing your exam. By completing these checks ahead of time, you’ll minimise disruption and focus fully on performing at your best.
Take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the rules and test your setup. The guidelines outline the test format, time limits, and key requirements — helping you avoid unnecessary mistakes and go into the exam fully prepared.
Before taking an online test, it’s crucial to perform a computer system check to ensure your device meets all necessary requirements. This process verifies that your internet connection is stable, your browser is compatible, and any required software or plugins are correctly installed.
If you’re using Invigilate or similar testing platforms, these checks are particularly important.
On exam day, follow the steps in your User Guide to prepare your surroundings.
Make sure your environment is quiet and distraction-free, and keep your ID close for verification.
Please note:
VPNs, firewalls, and antivirus software will not prevent you from starting an Invigilate exam.
If your exam requires LockDown Browser, contact our Support Team to receive the correct version.
By conducting a thorough system check, you’ll reduce the risk of technical issues and be ready to focus entirely on your performance.
If your exam requires our mobile app, please download it in advance:
Having the app installed ensures a smooth and reliable testing experience. Make sure your device is updated to the latest operating system to prevent compatibility issues.
If you encounter any difficulties while performing the computer system check or installing the app, please contact our support team.
