Hi, Thanks for open this space.
My question is about the possible scenarios where the exam is considered a fault or potentially considered suspended. 

1. ¿Which are those cases where the Exam could be potentially suspended?. ¿What happens to student? , ¿does the student have to pay again for the exam?
2. Some FAQs says that if something causes the interruption of the exam (Network issues for example) and this happens in the first 30 minutes, the student has the possibility to re-schedule the exam.¿ What happens if the issue happens after the first  30 minutes? 
3. ¿Are headphones allowed? (Just for NoiseCancelling) 

Thanks!

Hi Guys, 

From my experience, once your wifi pipe is big enough , you should be fine with/ without a cable.  Preparing for the test is hard enough so you don't want to start stressing about extra hardware. Do your compatibility checks many times before the exam date with all the required hardware. I did the compatibility tests without the external webcam and they passed. After getting the webcam, the sound test started failing even though the system showed images from both webcams. This happened because the external webcam also has an integrated mic so the sound test was using the webcam for both picture and sound test. Its always necessary to have your full setup tested before the exam. 

The ideal setup will be an embedded webcam in your laptop showing your face and an external webcam that can show you and the surroundings of your room. Think of it like a TV News Studios where you have more than 1 camera showing the presenter in various angles. The proctor is the producer and wants to have Camera 1 and Camera 2 angle views while you are the Newscaster :-). In case you are interested, heres an external webcam I used   https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07MK2LB66/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi,

For the exam, it's necessary to use integrated webcam or the external webcam is enough.

About the sound and microphone, both must be integrated or I can use some type of headphones. I would like to use a desktop computer and it doesn't have integrated audio.

Thanks,

Juan
