Before taking an online test, follow these suggestions to avoid complications.
Additional best practices for off campus.
Reboot your router if you've been having internet trouble at least one hour before the exam.
Check your computer for the latest updates (Operating system patches, virus updates, java) 48 hours before the exam.
Use a hard-wired connection rather than a wireless connection whenever available.
If your Internet service is shared among multiple users (e.g. in an apartment complex), it is likely you will experience slow connectivity and possible disconnection when taking an online test. Recommendation: Take online tests using more stable connections.
