Environmental check

image with checkboxes

All candidates will be invited to complete a so-called ‘environmental check’ before starting their testing session. This is needed to ensure the integrity of the testing session and the reliability of the test results.

The ‘environmental check’ will ensure, for instance, that candidates are alone and that they do not have any documents/objects not allowed during their testing session. More details about this kind of check are provided to candidates when invited to sit their tests.

  • Wired or built-in webcams and microphones are mandatory and must be kept on/activated throughout the testing session.
  • Earphones, earbuds and headsets are not allowed.
