Minimize the risk of your exam getting suspended - Tip #1

The number one cause of exam suspensions is loss of video feed. This is often because your computer is not set up right for taking an online proctored exam. Before launching an exam, make sure the computer you are using meets the technical requirements. You can also run a Kryterion System Check before launching your exam. Be sure to do this a few days before your scheduled exam session so you can troubleshoot if needed!

Hello,

That's a great tip! Losing video feed sounds like a major headache. I'll definitely run the Kryterion System Check a few days before my online proctored exam to make sure my setup is good to go.

"So true! Losing that video feed is the absolute worst way to get derailed. Running the Kryterion System Check a few days early is a total lifesaver—gives you plenty of time to deal with any weird browser permissions or camera driver updates without the test-day panic."

Thanks for the helpful tip! Running the system check beforehand is definitely a good way to avoid technical issues during the exam.
