·      Access to a quiet and private location on exam day.

·      A strong and stable internet connection on exam day.

 

Before you book a remote session exam

Equipment and Technical checks

You must complete a system check. This check is carried out via our testing partner and will confirm your internet speed, webcam and microphone performance. To complete the system check you need to use the computer/laptop and location where you'll be on your exam day.

 

Complete the system test

You will also need to ensure you meet the minimum technical specification - please note that passing the system test does not necessarily mean that you fulfil the minimum technical specification.  It is therefore important to complete both checks and confirm you successfully meet both criteria.?

 

Check the minimum technical specifications

It's important to know that...

There are some aspects of the exam which are different from centre-based exams. You will be required to agree to these when signing the Terms and Conditions before booking your exam, but please be aware of the following:

 

·      No breaks, including bathroom breaks, are permitted from when you start the check-in process until the conclusion of the exam.

·      There are some restrictions to what is allowed on your desk, including no access to scrap paper or additional monitors. View what you are allowed on your desk

·      You will be filmed throughout the exam and these and other data will be shared with 3rd parties for the sole purposes of running the exam and for other related post- exam activities.
