We recommend completing all checks at least one hour before the test is due to start.

In particular, any applications which cause on screen popups (for example, an email client or messaging application) must be closed before beginning the test.In Chinese speaking regions, we recommend that the English language pack for Windows be installed and the keyboard changed to English (International) before the test is taken.
If the test is not running correctly or the browser is redirected to a different website when launched, it is likely that your computer has a virus.
We recommend conducting a malware scan and reviewing PC setup to ensure no unwanted programs are installed before starting the test.
Tests can be run using Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. We recommend downloading the latest version of the browser before starting a test.
