System requirements to take the exam are as follows:

You must use a PC Computer running Windows XP or later or a Mac Computer running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or OSX 10.7 (Lion)

You must have web cam installed on your computer. If one is not present, we can provide one to you for $25.00, or you may purchase one at WalMart, Target, Best Buy, etc. They are easy to install; simply plug the camera into an available USB port. Typically, your computer operating system will detect the camera and complete the installation.

You should be connected to a reliable DSL or Cable Modem Internet service.

FireFox or Safari are the recommended browsers to use, although Internet Explorer or any other browser is sufficient.

Java Script must be enabled on your browser. This scripting disables certain mouse functions during the exam so that you may only move forward question by question. You will not be able to go back to change any answers. However, if you skip a question, you will be given an opportunity to complete any skipped questions at the end of the test.
