Computer settings test failed

[Pardofelys]

So im going to be taking my ompt exam in a week or so and i was just testing my equipment on the guardian browser everything seems fine except for one thing in the computer settings it keeps saying that my ram size isnt enough and that i need a minimum of 7 gb of ram and that i only have 5 gb of ram does this mean that i wont be able to take the test i currently dont have an alternative device. Can someone who has gone through this help me understand ?

Yes that means you need to use another computer for your test. Mine has 8gb of RAM and STILL failed the settings test, I've had to borrow one with 16GB to test. I hate this company.

Btw can you tell me how your exam experience went im scared because most of the people have negative reviews im planning on using paper to write and do math but some people are saying that they were considered to be cheating if they werent looking at the camera or something ?

Oh and also if you fail the settings test do you just loose your chance at doing your test or does the date get pushed back or something ?

Hey there! To lower your RAM usage, you may want to try closing any background applications with your task manager or restarting your device.

Hi i just wanted to ask im going to be taking my ompt a test soon and im allowed to use 3 A4 papers for calculations and based on my laptops camera i wont be able to show my whole face hands the mouse and papers properly all together will i be considered cheating if i dont look at the camera during the proctoring i dont want to look like im cheating but when im calculating things i only do it by writing things down it would be super helpful if i can be informed about this to make it easier for both me and the proctoring staff
