Technical Requirements
You will need the following equipment and software to take the test:
- Desktop computer or laptop with functional video camera and microphone
- If you are using a desktop computer or an external web camera, it will be positioned on the side so you could show your screen and keyboard.
- If you are using a laptop with a built-in webcam, you will additionally need a medium-sized mirror, to be placed strategically for the proctor to see your screen and keyboard.
- If you do not have an external webcam or a mirror, you must use a mobile phone or tablet for Zoom and position it accordingly to show your screen and keyboard.
