The minimum bandwidth required is (e.g.) 512kbps.<\/li><li>Consider your test location the same as an on-site examination and maintain the standards of an exam throughout the duration of the test. You must adhere to the following requirements:<\/li><\/ol><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>There should be no one else in the test room with you.<\/li><li>It must be a private location where you will be free from disruption.<\/li><li>The room should be well lit and have walls and a closed door.<\/li><li>You must not interact with anyone else during the test.<\/li><li>You will not be able to access any personal items during the test, including watches, electronic devices, dictionaries, food, hats, handbags, purses or wallets. Your location and deskspace must be clear of any of these items. On your desk, you may only have blank rough paper and a pencil, and water in a clear plastic bottle with the label removed.<\/li><li>You are not permitted to use a second monitor or have a second monitor anywhere in the test room.<\/li><li>You must take a valid ID to the test as you will need to submit a live image of the ID before you start the test. Valid forms of ID include your passport, identity card and biometric residence permit (if a photo is included). The ID must contain your full name and a photo of yourself on the same side.<\/li><li>Face coverings, including face masks, must be removed for the initial photo and duration of the test. The AI will not function properly if your eyes and mouths are covered.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><h4><strong><br \/>Pre-Flight Checks<\/strong><\/h4><p>Before you start your test, you must carry out a series of checks. Please read the following instructions carefully and ensure you complete each step.<\/p><ol><li>Check your email account. You should have received an invitation email containing the following important information:<ul><li>URL invitation link<\/li><li>Talview verification code<\/li><li>Metrica Access code<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Click on invitation URL which will take you to the Talview site. Enter the verification code in the large box and check the terms and conditions and consent boxes at the bottom. After that, click \u201cGo\u201d.<\/li><li>Read the instructions on the welcome screen carefully, then click \u201cNext\u201d. Note that the terms and conditions box is ticked as default.<\/li><li>Allow access to your webcam.<\/li><li>You will then be informed that Talview will take a picture of you to authenticate your identity. Click \u201cNext\u201d.<\/li><li>Read the information on the Face Capture instructions screen. Select the correct camera from the drop-down menu (circled in red). The room should be well lit, and your face should be close to the camera so that you can be easily identified, as shown in the image below. If you cannot be identified, this may be considered malpractice. Click \u201cNext\u201d.<\/li><li>Take a picture of your face. Make sure you are looking towards the camera and any face coverings are removed.<\/li><li>On the audio test screen make sure you select the correct microphone from the drop-down (circled in red). You should use an external microphone to ensure the sound is of a suitable quality. Do not change the position of the microphone during the test.<\/li><li>Say the line of text in the instructions out loud. If the sound test fails, try saying the line louder and\/or moving the microphone closer to your mouth.<\/li><li>You must then take a photo of your ID. Please make sure there is enough light and your ID is held close to the camera so that the ID card is captured clearly. Ensure your fingers are not covering any of the information on the ID. All details must be clearly visible. Attempts to hide or cover information will be considered malpractice. Alternatively, you may upload a copy of your ID.<\/li><li>You will then be asked to do a compulsory 360-degree environment check so that the invigilator can check your test location. It is important that you watch the demo video first. You must rotate your webcam (or laptop if you have an integrated webcam) to show your worktable, floor and ceiling. Rotate your camera 360 degrees to show your entire workspace. Any attempt to hide parts of your workspace may be considered malpractice.<br \/>Please ignore the message that says: \u201cDo not use any earphone accessories\u201d. For the Linguaskill test, you are required to wear an external headphone and microphone headset to ensure good sound quality.<br \/>Click \u201cStart test\u201d and then \u201cstart recording\u201d to record your environment check.<br \/>When you have finished click \u201cstop recording\u201d. You can re-take the recording if necessary.<br \/>When you see the message saying recording complete, click \u201cSubmit\u201d.<\/li><li>The next instruction will ask you to share your screen during the test. Click \u201cProceed to exam\u201d.<\/li><li>Select the image of your entire screen and click \u201cShare\u201d. Note that it is mandatory to share your entire screen. If you do not allow this function, you will not be able to proceed to the test.<br \/>You must not click \u201cStop sharing\u201d until the end of the test. If you stop sharing your screen at any time during the test, this will be considered malpractice.<\/li><li>On the next screen, you will be asked to enter your first name, last name and phone number.

Click \u201cNext\u201d.<\/li><li>Read the information on the Face Capture instructions screen. Select the correct camera from the drop-down menu (circled in red). The room should be well lit, and your face should be close to the camera so that you can be easily identified, as shown in the image below. If you cannot be identified, this may be considered malpractice. Click \u201cNext\u201d.<\/li><li>Take a picture of your face. Make sure you are looking towards the camera and any face coverings are removed.<\/li><li>On the audio test screen make sure you select the correct microphone from the drop-down (circled in red). You should use an external microphone to ensure the sound is of a suitable quality. Do not change the position of the microphone during the test.<\/li><li>Say the line of text in the instructions out loud. If the sound test fails, try saying the line louder and\/or moving the microphone closer to your mouth.<\/li><li>You must then take a photo of your ID. Please make sure there is enough light and your ID is held close to the camera so that the ID card is captured clearly. Ensure your fingers are not covering any of the information on the ID. All details must be clearly visible. Attempts to hide or cover information will be considered malpractice. Alternatively, you may upload a copy of your ID.<\/li><li>You will then be asked to do a compulsory 360-degree environment check so that the invigilator can check your test location. It is important that you watch the demo video first. You must rotate your webcam (or laptop if you have an integrated webcam) to show your worktable, floor and ceiling. Rotate your camera 360 degrees to show your entire workspace. Any attempt to hide parts of your workspace may be considered malpractice.<br \/>Please ignore the message that says: \u201cDo not use any earphone accessories\u201d.
