Question

We got the email saying read the pdf to do the test. The pdf has a link where we can go to “go to the test” i

I assume this is process:

1- go to the link provided in the pdf we got sent application, click on “go to test” and we enter UCI and application #?
Question: do we enter with no hyphens i assume?

2- once we sign in, we click “email me test link”. Question: After we do this, we have to close this tab we have open? Or keep it open?

3- Then they email us a special link, we click on that link from our gmail in a new tab?

4- re-verify our identiy, take photos from the web-page

5- then then we press “start test” and 45min timer starts?

Is there no sample process to rub though to make sure our camera etc… meets requirements? Or is the actual test what we need to do and steps are correct?

don't overthink it.

just make sure your computer has stable internet connection and a working webcam, then have your ID ready (PR card or driver's license).

you go to the link in your letter, enter your info, and you'll receive another email containing the actual one-time test link. from this point, make sure to close other tabs, windows and applications, then click the test link to start. as long as you are not actually cheating you'll be fine.
