Testing your equipment
Once all of the system preferences have been adjusted according to the instructions, you will be able to access the automated equipment test page.
Passed equipment test
If your computer passes all of the tests, you will see green check marks next to each category.
When you scroll down the page, you will see a message confirming that your equipment has passed the test, and notifying you that this does not guarantee your equipment’s functionality on exam day.
Failed equipment test
If one of the categories fails the equipment test, it will be shown with a red X next to it.
You will be able to scroll down and see why this category failed and how you can fix it.
It is important to do this equipment test ahead of time so that if there are any big changes that need to be made, you can do so before your scheduled exam, but it is a good idea to run the equipment test once again shortly before the exam just to be sure. You can find more information about equipment requirements here.
The proctored exam requires you to download Google Chrome, ProctorU plugin, and Guardian Browser to your computer. This cannot be done on a Chromebook.
