Please note:

The exam is proctored and the system will not allow you to use any other applications during the exam except Google Translate. During your session the system recorded multiple additional applications access and the system invalidated your attempt.

NOTE: You may have to adjust your lighting

  • Your profile will be used when you access proctored exams in the future so that we can confirm your identity. Think of this as a profile of record.
  • Make sure your room and face are well lit.
    1. ✓ Direct lighting from a light source pointed towards your face provides the best results.
    2. X Direct overhead or background light that is in view of the web camera may negatively affect profiling.
  • Directly face the camera and align your entire face within the oval.
