Operating systems compatible with the testing application:

  • Microsoft Windows 10 (minimum)
  • Apple OS X 10.13 (minimum)
  • Linux Ubuntu 20.04

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
  • A single screen is required. Dual-screen configurations are not allowed (i.e. a desktop with two screens or a laptop with a separate screen). Make sure that you have the adapted screen resolution as indicated in the user guide of EPSO’s test provider.

However, you are allowed to use a single external screen connected to your laptop via a cable. In this case, you must deactivate the laptop screen and keep the laptop closed. If you choose this solution you will not be able to use your laptop’s integrated camera, keyboard or trackpad.
