With the rise of online learning, proctored exams have become a standard part of many courses. While convenient, they require careful preparation to avoid technical glitches and unnecessary stress. Here are our top tips for acing your next online exam.

1. Test Your Technology

Days before the exam, test your computer, webcam, microphone, and internet connection. Run any required system checks provided by the proctoring service. A last-minute technical issue is the last thing you need on exam day.

2. Create a Distraction-Free Environment

Choose a quiet, well-lit room where you will not be disturbed. Inform your family or roommates of your exam schedule. Clear your desk of all non-essential items to comply with academic integrity rules and to help you focus.
