TAKING THE EXAM

Overview

The 2023 VSU College Admission Test is a two-hour exam done online through the Moodle platform. All takers must use a computer and will be observed by a proctor through Zoom throughout the duration of the test.

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.
A strong and stable internet connection.
- Additionally, you must check this page for Zoom’s system requirements for your internet connection.

Exam Procedure

Get your exam date and schedule from the email we set to you. You will be assigned either to a Saturday or Sunday.
Get the Zoom link emailed to you at least one day before your schedule.
Log in to Zoom 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour before your scheduled time. For example, if your exam is at 9 AM, you must be in by 7:30 AM. Ensure that your camera (and mirror) is placed strategically as instructed in the Technical Requirements section above.
Once in Zoom, rename your Zoom account to “Your ECN” - “Last Name, Given Name”. For example: 12345 - Dela Cruz, Juan.
Log in to the exam platform using the link and account credentials sent to you.
Your proctor will start validating your identity. Please show the following through the webcam: Your face, a valid ID or any official document with your photo, and your ECN printed/written in large font (at least 1 inch tall) on a piece of paper.
Recite the pledge of academic honesty as instructed by the proctor.
At the exact time of your exam, refresh your browser. The exam will appear in your account. You may now start taking the exam.
Finish the exam. If you are done before the two-hour duration, you may notify your proctor through a private chat. You may then log out of the exam platform and leave the Zoom meeting. You’re done!

Note: Minors (takers below 18 years old) are required to be accompanied by their parent or guardian to provide legal consent where it is applicable.
