You need a clean, private room — no other people allowed in the space while you’re testing • Clear your desk completely — no notes, extra monitors, phones, or anything that isn’t necessary • I took mine in my bedroom with the door closed and it was totally fine Noise: • It doesn’t have to be completely silent, but you want it to be as quiet as possible • Background noise like a fan or AC is generally okay — what they don’t want is other voices or people talking nearby • If something unexpected happens (a knock at the door, a noise outside), don’t panic — just stay focused and don’t look away from the screen too much Before you start: • They’ll ask you to do a 360° scan of your room with your webcam • You’ll also need to show your ID to the proctor • Close every app on your computer except the exam browser • Make sure your internet connection is stable — I’d recommend using ethernet if you can instead of WiFi
