I am having technical issues during my tests

Are you experiencing technical difficulties during the tests or assessments? This article will help you with a step by step troubleshooting!

Connection and technical issues that our talents encounter during assessments are often linked to local factors.

To help you optimize your assessment attempts, we have outlined a concise yet comprehensive set of troubleshooting steps below:

  1. Check your internet connection/speed (minimum required 4MBps).

  2. Clean your browser cache/cookies and refresh the page before starting the assessments.
  3. Take the test using a desktop browser (Our assessments are not designed for Mobile devices!).

    1. Use a Chromium-based web browser (e.g. Google Chrome 74+, Microsoft Edge 79+) when taking the tests.

    2. We suggest taking the test using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox as it has presented better performance than Chrome.

    3. Deactivate any browser extensions (like Coding Assistant, Grammarly, etc).

    4. Make sure that you are not in "Incognito Mode" or "Private Browsing" mode. (To jump out of incognito mode, press "Ctrl + N" on Windows or "Cmd + N" on Mac).

  4. Screen, Mic & Webcam sharing (Mandatory, you can read more about it here).

    1. Ensure to set the permissions on both the Browser and the Operational System!

    2. This article will help allow the Turing engine to access your camera and microphone for usage during the assessments.

  5. Don't use a VPN or any privacy/ad blocker or desktop third-party programs/apps.

  6. Make sure you are not blocking the Web Socket connection (test here - https://websocketstest.com/ or https://libwebsockets.org/testserver/)

  7. Try another browser, desktop/laptop, or internet connection.
