Operating systems compatible with the testing application:

  • Microsoft Windows 10 (minimum)
  • Apple OS X 10.13 (minimum)

Some configurations (for example Windows 10 S, Windows under ARM architecture or Virtual Machines) are incompatible with the testing application. Candidates will be able to consult the dedicated webpage of the test provider for more detailed information when invited to sit their tests.

Other technical requirements:

  • 1 GB of free space on the hard disk
  • Internet connection (Wi-Fi or wired)
  • 4 GB of RAM (minimum) – 8 GB of RAM is recommended by the test provider
  • Only a single screen (laptop screen or a monitor) is allowed. Dual-screen configurations are not permitted (e.g., a desktop computer with two monitors or a laptop with an external screen). However, you may use a single external screen connected to your laptop via a cable. In this case, you must deactivate the laptop screen and keep it closed. Please note, if you choose this option, you will not be able to use your laptop’s integrated camera, keyboard, or trackpad.
  • Ensure that your screen resolution matches that one indicated in the user guide of EPSO’s test provider.
