SETTING UP YOUR ENVIRONMENT FOR THE EXAM
Proper positioning of your webcam:
It’s important that your webcam is properly positioned so that we can see you and your surroundings clearly. Check the video feeds displayed on your screen at the beginning of the exam to ensure that everything is recorded correctly.
Be alone:
To comply with exam regulations, you must take the exam alone. Having someone else in the room is strictly prohibited. Be sure to cover any personal information you don’t want to be shown on camera, such as photos or private objects.
Well-lit room:
Your surroundings should be well-lit to ensure that you’re visible at all times. During the setup process, you’ll be able to see what your webcam is sharing. Make sure there’s sufficient lighting without any backlighting interfering
