Software and permissions
•Make sure the user account you’re using to log into your computer has local administrative permissions. For help on enabling administrative permissions, see documentation for Windows and Mac. •Test on a personal computer rather than a work computer, if possible, as work computers often contain software that prevents OnVUE software from launching. •You may need to configure your internet security and antivirus software to make an exception for the OnVUE Secure Browser executable file. •Some antivirus software can cause performance issues. Consider disabling antivirus scanning while taking your exam. •Make sure your security software won’t block the execution of JavaScript, Adobe Air applications, or Adobe Flash Player extensions.
Network
•Online proctored exams can be disrupted by proxy servers, network packet inspection/filtering, or strict network security configurations. •If possible, use a hard-wired internet connection.
Office or home setting
Your office or home must meet the following requirements: •Your office, conference room, or space must be walled, have a closed door, and be free from disruptions. •No one else can be in or enter the room during your exam.
Communicating with the greeter and proctor
•Phone: during the check-in process, the greeter will ask for your phone number in case they need to call. After you’ve completed check-in, place your phone out of reach but close enough to be heard in case the proctor calls you. •Chat window: Most communication with the greeter and proctor will be in the chat window. •Microphone: During the check-in process and, if necessary, while taking your exam, you can communicate with the greeter and proctor via microphone. •Language: Please note that your greeter and proctor may not know your preferred language even if your exam is available in that language.
Identity verification
You must present a current government-issued ID. Refer to the Pearson VUE Before test day page and click “View ID requirements” for acceptable examples. •Use your mobile phone to capture the required headshot and ID. •The name on the government issued ID you present must exactly match the name on your Microsoft Certification profile. See Manage your certification profile. •If you’re in the process of updating or renewing your identification, please note that legal name-change forms, including ID renewal forms, are not accepted for online proctored exams.
