| Disk Storage | The Secure Browser requires 500 MB of available disk storage to download and install. | ||
| Internet Connection |
• Broadband (DSL, cable, fiber optic, or LAN/WAN) minimum 750 kbps, 3 Mbps or higher is recommended. • Check the connection through https://video-diagnostics.twilio.com/ |
||
| Network Security | Workplace firewalls and other security measures such as VPNs often block the required secure connection. Please take your test in a setting without a corporate firewall. | ||
| Microphone |
• The microphone must be functional and turned on for the entire exam, including security check, check-in, and during the exam. • DO NOT use a headset or earbuds because most exams do not allow them. |
||
| Speakers and Headphones |
• Audio may be required for your exam. We recommend using your computer’s installed speakers. • You should NOT use headphones or ear buds and you may be required to remove them and that could delay the start of your exam. |
||
| Camera |
• Your camera must be capable of a 360-degree scan of the test room. • Your camera must also be available, functional, and turned on for the entire exam, including security check, check-in, and during the exam. • DO NOT unplug your camera while the secure browser is open because this will end your session attempt and you will need to relaunch the exam. • If you are using a laptop computer’s built-in webcam, you will need to direct the laptop with a camera around the room. • If you are using a desktop computer, you will need an external camera that can be directed around the room. |

Recommendations
Please run a system compatibility check before taking the exam. For the best experience with the system compatibility check, please use the latest version of the Chrome browser.
Please ensure you have administrative permissions on your computer.
We highly recommend using a personal computer that has not been issued by your employer or organization. Firewalls and security settings from employer-issued computers may prevent the PSI software from operating properly.
