What is the responsibility of the online tester regarding setup?

• A. Ensure that the exam questions load correctly.
• B. Ensure that their setup meets all requirements for online proctoring.
• C. Ensure the network uses a public IP address.
• D. Ensure their computer clock is set to GMT.

Answer: (B)

Online proctoring relies on the tester’s setup being fully compatible with the proctoring system. The tester must verify that their hardware, software, network, and environment meet all requirements so the proctor can monitor identity, behavior, and the exam session without interruptions. This includes having a functioning webcam and microphone, a supported browser and any required proctoring app, stable internet, and a suitable, distraction-free workspace.

Other options miss the core responsibility: loading exam questions is handled by the platform and content side, a public IP address isn’t a universal requirement for proctoring, and a fixed GMT clock isn’t typically mandated—what matters is an accurate system time, not a specific time zone.
