You do not need any special equipment for a remotely invigilated exam, a standard desktop or laptop (no chrome books, tablets or surface pros) with a webcam, a microphone and good quality internet connectivity will suffice.
All of the key requirements are checked during the system check process and in the unlikely event of any issues, these will be brought to your attention and can be resolved well in advance of exam day. TestReach technical support is also available to assist during standard office hours (9:00-17:30 GMT), if required.
The following minimum system requirements are needed:
• Intel Core i3 (or equivalent) and 4GB RAM
• A working webcam*
• A working microphone and speakers
• Good continuous internet speed of 516kbps or higher
• They also recommend a screen size of at least 13″ and a resolution of 1024 x 768
• A MAC OS or Windows operating system only
*In order for the invigilator to be able to scan the room, you need to be able to either pick up your laptop or have a webcam which you can detach.
Candidates who do not have a suitable set up could borrow equipment or take the exam in a different location such as your workplace.
