Why should you avoid using WiFi for the exam?

• A. Ethernet-only connections are prohibited.
• B. WiFi connections can be unstable; an ethernet cable is recommended.
• C. Bluetooth tethering is required for the exam.
• D. The exam can be taken over a public hotspot.

Answer: (B)

A wired Ethernet connection is preferred because it provides a stable, low-latency link that minimizes the risk of disconnects or submission issues during the exam. WiFi can be unstable due to interference, distance from the router, and other devices on the same network, which can cause latency spikes or drops that disrupt online proctoring and saving progress. Bluetooth tethering is not required and generally less reliable for this purpose, and public hotspots introduce security and reliability concerns. To maximize reliability, test a direct Ethernet connection to the router before the exam and minimize other network activities during testing.
