How the test works

Your web camera will snap photos of you at the start and throughout your test. These photos will capture the test taker's identity and ensure everyone is following the guidelines listed below.

Before you start

Read through the do’s and don’ts below

Be sure you understand the rules and avoid having your test results delayed by a test review. Your passing grade could be overturned if a review can’t confirm you completed the test without help.

Take a sample test

Once you are ready to begin your test, you’ll have the option to take a sample test and get a feel for the testing procedure. Otherwise, you can start your web camera and begin your test.

If you don’t pass

You’ll need to purchase a retest for a test you didn't pass. Try again whenever you're ready, there's no waiting period to retake a test.

If you purchased a test bundle with more than one test:

• take all the tests before you purchase your retest bundle
• you only have to retake the tests you didn't pass

Select the retest from the retest product page

Dos and don'ts of taking the test

Do:

• set-up for your test in a well lit, quiet space away from people
• face the camera
• always keep your face fully visible to the camera
• keep your eyes on the screen as much as possible

Don't:

• pick-up or answer your cell phone
• talk with other people
• leave your seat
• look-up information in textbooks or online
• do anything that looks like you’re getting help to complete the test

Tips for avoiding test result delays caused by a review:

• lighting is important, make sure your face appears brightly lit with no strong light sources behind you. A window behind you, for example, can cause problems
• try not to touch your face
• don't leave your seat
• don’t take your glasses on and off your face
• don’t eat or drink while taking the test
