What is the purpose of the readiness check prior to online testing?

• A. To confirm your setup meets requirements.
• B. To request a late registration.
• C. To verify your identity for the exam.
• D. To train with sample questions.

Answer: (A)

The readiness check is about making sure your setup can support online testing and proctoring. It verifies that your device meets the required hardware and software, that the browser and testing platform will run correctly, that your internet connection is stable, and that your camera and microphone (and the monitoring tools) are functioning properly in the testing environment. Doing this before the exam helps catch issues like a slow or unstable connection, incompatible software, or hardware problems so you’re not disrupted during the test. It isn’t used to register late, verify your identity, or provide practice questions—identity verification happens at the start of the test, and practice questions aren’t part of this step.
