Computerized exams

We are gradually moving to using computers for our exams. 

If you received a message from us that said you will be taking your exam using a computer, you should read the following:

Important instructions

  • Hold onto the message you received and bring it with you on the day of your exam. You will need the credentials in the letter or email that you received to access the exam.
  • You will have the same credentials for the entire time that you have a valid status as guarantor. Please make sure to keep them confidential at all times.
  • Although you will use a computer to take your exam, you will be provided with all of the necessary material, just like with a paper-based exam.

Preparing for a computer-based exam

Remember to consult the following pages before your exam: Preparation for examinations and Examinations: instructions and results. The information on these pages applies to all of our exams, regardless of format.

There is a training test that you can take to familiarize yourself with the computer application you will use for your exam.

You can log in using the credentials that you received in a letter or email.

Having trouble accessing the training test? Try using a different web browser.

Once logged into the tool, select the Training option from the main menu:
