Hi,

Just tested my new webcam in the exam enviroment and passed all the tests, but have two questions to ask as not sure if it's going to work.

1. One time the test showed output of both internal and external cameras on the screen then showed only the internal camera on the next step. Test passed on quality, and sound but while showing only the internal camera.

So question here is why external cam is showing only on the first test and am I alright for the exam if the test passed?

2. External camera will not focus good enough on my ID to be readable but the internal cam focuses good so the proctor will be able to read it.

Question is, can the proctor use my internal camera to read my ID?

Regards

Both cameras are active simultaneously and both of them can be used to verify the user ID (or at least this has been the case for me, as my external cam does not properly support autofocus).

Great to hear Fran. ThanksSent from my Galaxy

During the exam the font in the exam terminal (browser tab) was very tiny. It was very hard to read and I didn't find the way how to make it bigger. How could I do that, please?

Change the resolution on your screen before the exam begins. Are you using a 4K monitor?

Hi,

During the remote exam, can we go to toilet?

Most important question.😂. do they reduce the time from exam time duration?

Yes. You can. Once per hour of exam.

Are there any special requirements for screen resolution for Preliminary exams?

I have tried using different screen resolutions but still I get below error while doing 'compatibility check' each and every time:

"The exam cannot be launched in a normal-size window. Please switch to full screen and re-run the tests.

Screen height is not valid"
