RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT
To put it simply - if you can watch an online movie on your computer, then you are good to go! However, while it is possible to browse through this website on a tablet or mobile device, it is highly recommended to use a desktop or laptop when taking the exams to ensure a better experience. Sections that contain video files and require playback may not function properly on touchscreen devices.

The three most frequent causes of technical issues are testing on an employer-issued computer, using an unreliable or insufficient internet connections and using a touchscreen device.

Therefore, we highly recommend to
  • use a personal desktop or laptop computer (i.e., one not issued by your employer)
