What is the purpose of a test run under online proctoring?

• A. To memorize potential questions.
• B. To confirm room, internet, camera function and environment meet requirements.
• C. To calibrate your wristwatch for timing.
• D. To practice speaking with an audience.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to ensure you can take the exam without technical or environmental problems by confirming your setup works and meets the proctoring requirements. A test run checks that your internet connection is stable, the camera and microphone function properly, and the testing environment (lighting, background, and absence of distractions) complies with policy. It also verifies the exam platform can access necessary hardware and permissions so there won’t be interruptions during the real test. This is about readiness and reliability, not studying, memorizing questions, timing devices, or practicing speaking to an audience.
