Hi,
Just tested my computer with the compability test and extected to fail on the hardware test where testing the number of cameras installed. Was surprised to see that the camera test passed.
I'm not curently having external camera its just the laptop camera.
Why the test didn't fail? What I've seen here is that I need to have at minimum an external camera to pass the test?
Cheers
Hi,
I'm doing exam simulation on LinuxAcademy lab which is centOS and notice I'm unable to use TAB completion unless is installed manually. Is the TAB completon disabeled on the exam as well?
Hi @mMarkov ,
Tab completion was enabled and has worked on all my exams so far.

@DirkSeifert ,
Hi there,
Yes, An external mic (or a mic builtin into the web camera) can be used for the remote exam.

Hi.
I have a couple of questions. My exam is scheduled for January 6th. I ran the Pre-checks successfully with the following hardware:
- Display 21:9 2560*1080
- External webcam
- Headset (Audio + Mic)
My questions:
- Is a headset allowed during the exam? The internal mic on the webcam isn't working in the exam environment.
- Also when i try to scan my ID, the image isn't clear enough to read my name. Is it possible to make a enlarged copy of my ID next to the actual physical ID?
- Is a 21:9 2560*1080 resolution allowed during the exam?
- I have two 21:9 screens mounted on a monitor stand. Do i need to remove one of the monitors or can i use a blanket or something like that to cover up the second screen?
Kind Regards,
Gerben
Hi @gerbenw ,
- Is a headset allowed during the exam? The internal mic on the webcam isn't working in the exam environment.
You may connect a headset with the mic as a replacement for the internal mic, but please note it should not be worn. The headset will have to be placed on the desk where the proctor can view them.
- Also when i try to scan my ID, the image isn't clear enough to read my name. Is it possible to make a enlarged copy of my ID next to the actual physical ID?
Photocopied IDs are not allowed for the exam in general. In your case, I doubt the proctor can verify the two IDs as the original one is blurred. Perhaps you can use something like a magnifying lens to focus text to the original ID?
- Is a 21:9 2560*1080 resolution allowed during the exam?
The screen will probably be downscaled and hardly visible at high resolutions. (Do give it a try, you can reboot and choose a different resolution if it doesn't work). From my experiences in the exam (in my setup), 1920 x 1080 had the best view.
- I have two 21:9 screens mounted on a monitor stand. Do i need to remove one of the monitors or can i use a blanket or something like that to cover up the second screen?
A blanket to cover up the second screen would be fine. (Note that the proctors may ask you to disconnect any cables to the second monitor.

Hi @shefeeqyr
I have a fairly new laptop I did the test with the laptop and it passed, just need some more confirmation that the laptop will be completely compatible with the exam.
Specs:
Lenovo ThinkPad T495
AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U w/ Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.10GHz
8GB Ram
Hi @Shaams ,
If you are able to boot into the remote exam image and complete the compatibility tests, your device should be compatible with the remote exam.
