I can have the following items on my workspace:

  1. My ID (ID card, passport or driving license).
  2. Drafts and pens are only allowed if my teacher or the administration of the institution I’m working for has told me so beforehand.
  3. Bottle or glass of water.

Any other material or document is forbidden and its presence would be considered as fraud or attempted fraud (if I have any doubts, I should contact my administration as soon as possible).

Preparing my computer :

  1. I make sure everything’s working: computer, keyboard, mouse, webcam and microphone.
  2. I plug my computer into the power supply.
  3. I connect my computer to the Internet (wifi, Ethernet cable or shared connection with telephone data).

During my exam

At the start of my test (and only at the test start time), I follow the instructions:

  1. I click on « Exam » to start my test.
  2. I show my ID.
  3. I record my voice and check the sound on my computer.
  4. I follow the environmental checks.

    Any failure to comply with the checks at the start of the proctored exam (ID, face, ears, work space and environment) will be treated as fraud or attempted fraud.

During my test, the proctor must be able to see me at all times. I must therefore:

  1. Remain seated.
  2. Stay within the webcam’s field of vision.
  3. Have sufficient lighting.
  4. Have my ears and neck visible.

I am allowed to :

  1. Drink water from a bottle or glass.
  2. Call TestWe technical support, only if I have a technical problem during my exam.

At the end of my test, I check that my copy has been sent by checking the green dot and the « Sent » label.

I must make sure that my copy is sent.

As soon as a technical problem occurs during my test, I must contact support immediately by telephone at the number shown on the test interface.

This number is dedicated to questions concerning technical problems during the test.
