• Do not take the test until you are ready.
• Each instructor may configure their test differently, so it is very important to read ALL instructions before you begin the test.
• Before you start your test, close all other programs running on your computer. Having multiple programs open during your test may result in problems or loss of test data.
• Do not resize or refresh your browser window after starting the test.
• Do not wait until the last minute to take the test! If something goes wrong during your test session, there may not be enough time to resolve the issue.
• Before starting your test, turn off any virus-scanning software, pop-up blockers, instant messaging, or any other programs that may cause your computer to restart, open pop-up windows, or open new browser windows.
• Do not use the Back, Forward, Home, or Refresh buttons on the browser or the Backspace key on the keyboard while taking the test.
• MOST IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a reliable internet connection! Wireless internet connections do not always maintain a "constant" connection and, therefore, are not considered reliable. Using a wireless connection or a mobile device can cause you to get disconnected from the test environment. It is HIGHLY recommended that you use a computer or laptop that is hard-wired to an Internet connection.
