2. In the Sciolink application you will find an invitation with important information no later than 5 days before the exam.

3. You need to go through the Mandatory Equipment Check no later than 2 days before the exam. The Mandatory Equipment Check uses the same checks that you will encounter on the test day. (However, the result of the test or checks are not evaluated.)

4. You can launch the exam only at the designated official time of the exam. Please, carefully check for any time zone difference. All our exam times are published in CEST (GMT+2). The application will lead you through the following steps:

          1. At the launch of every exam, ScioLink will check your webcam and microphone as well as the speed of your               internet connection and storage capacity.

          2. After checking minimal technical requirements you will be asked to install and launch the Proctoring Desktop               extension. This extension monitors running processes and connected devices in your computer. You will have               to keep this extension running during the whole exam.

          3. In the next steps you will take a photo of your face and passport using your webcam. You will also record the               room scan.

5. You will be able to see the preview from your webcam during the whole test.

6. To submit the test you have to click on the "Finish" button in the last question. You can do this at any time during the exam. If you run out of time, the test will be submitted automatically. Do not close the browser tab or window before submitting the test.

7. Once you submit the test, all monitoring will stop. The Proctoring Desktop extension will close by itself, you will only have to confirm the closing.
