What to prepare for online competition?
What to prepare for online exam?
Exams are monitored through a camera system integrated into the exam platform. Students must use a device with an active, functioning camera and mic with stable internet connectivity throughout the exam. Meanwhile, the exam portal will also record the candidate screen activities for exam security during the exam. So you have to make sure your device, browser, internet connection, camera and screen sharing meet the technical requirements and are properly set up for a smooth and uninterrupted exam experience.
Please note that we are unable to provide support for the following issues, as they are beyond our control:
- If the questions load slowly on the any student’s screen
- If a student experiences issues with the camera or screen sharing
- If a student receives a tab issue warning due to refreshing the page
- And similar individual user-related issues
In such cases, we do not have any administrative control or technical ability to intervene, as these are typically temporary, user-side problems. When we log into the student’s account and exam, in 99.9% of cases, we do not encounter any issues and see that the exam is ongoing. Therefore, students should quickly check their technical setup, refresh the page if necessary, and continue the exam as soon as possible.
In which situations can we provide support and perform checks?
- If the exam icon shows missed or participated even though the exam time has not yet started
- If a student has forgotten their password.
- If the exam portal servers do not respond while attempting to connect to the exam portal (If it is a SERVER ERROR screen)
- If a qualified student’s exam icon do not appear in the exam portal
In such cases, our ADMIN TEAM and IT TEAM can be directly involved in the process, identify the issue, and provide an appropriate solution.
