1. What are your system requirements?
The vast majority of web browsers are already correctly configured to use our web testing system. Our "System Check" tool, which runs before the test starts, will tell you if there is a configuration issue. For software delivered tests, virtually all current computers will easily run the program. See below for specifics.
Online System Requirements
Screen Resolution: 1024x768
Java: version 1.5 or higher (later versions can be downloaded at www.java.com)
Pop-up Blockers: Disabled (multiple pop up blockers can exist thru the browser and tool bar, disable all)
Have issues with those or need more information? Click HERE.
Software System Requirements
Minimum requirements for Version 5.1.3 and later are a Pentium II/400 mHz PC running Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or newer with at least 64 MB of RAM, a DVD drive (for installation and using audio-based testing), and a VGA monitor and display adaptor set to 1024x768 or better resolution with 256 or more colors. The software supports Windows 2000 Professional SP2+, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Vista. Windows XP Home is not supported.
A sound card is also needed for tests that utilize audio, including Audio Transcription and Shorthand, Audio Data Entry and Call Center tests.
2. Lost the password to your online testing account?
