TECHNICAL FAQs
1. I am in the middle of taking my exam and the power goes out. What do I do?
Our exams are designed in a way that every time you finish a section, the section will be
saved automatically. So, if you experience any power outages, or your computer shuts down,
you can restart your computer, go to the start page link (above) again, and launch the test
again using the same Test ID and Password. The test will automatically resume from the end
of the last finished section.
2. My system becomes unresponsive and the application freezes. What can I do?
Should your system lock up, freeze or shut down, just restart the computer, go to the start
page link (above) again, make sure to complete the entire Technical Checklist again, and re-
use your Test ID and Password to recover your test.
3. I cant hear anything. What is the problem?

The key to having a great testing experience is in successfully completing the Technical
Checklist. If you are not able to hear anything, please make sure your soundcard is properly
installed, turned on, and the volume is turned up. Our web application will only use the
general settings on your system.
4. The exam just crashed. What happened?

Our exam relies on Adobe Flash Player or MP3 player in order to run. Please make sure this
program is installed and active on your system if your system did not show MP3 as the Audio
Player. Should you not have this application installed on your system, the Technical Checklist
will already have shown that error (GREEN text indicates software is installed properly, RED
text if they were missing or not installed correctly). Also, you could uninstall and reinstall
Flash again before going back to the exam website to be sure they are properly installed.
Make sure to restart your computer after every final installation in order to refresh the
configuration files of your Operating System. Please also check firewall systems and ensure
the needed components are functioning. If these actions do not fix the problem, please
contact us at [email protected].
