Testing Centers
Network Requirements
The testing center needs to provide a minimum of 1.5 MBPS, per student.
You can easily check your bandwidth by going to: www.speedtest.net.
Computer Requirements
The following requirements must be met for each machine to administer the exam:
Hardware
Mac or Windows workstations or laptops or Chromebooks
4GB+ RAM
A working set of headphones (built-in microphone recommended but not required). Student-owned headphones or earbuds are not recommended, but are not prohibited if the school cannot provide them.
A working microphone that can record clear audio without interference.
Software
MAC OSX (recent), Windows 10+ or Chrome OS (recent)
A Web Browser (Chrome (recommended), Firefox, or Microsoft Edge).
Safari is not supported because it does not comply with Internet standards for audio capture.
NOTE: Browsers will need to be set to accept cookies from exams.actesting.org
At least one week prior to your exam, you will need to certify as many workstations in your lab as the number of students tested (with a few extras in case of emergency). We recommend that, for every five students, you have one extra machine set up. Please see the table below.
