  • Corporate firewalls (including VPNs) or proxies often cause this delivery method to fail. We recommend testing on a personal computer. Work computers generally have more restrictions that may prevent successful delivery. Please take your exam in a setting without a corporate firewall.
  • The current System Check does not look at anything outside of testing the internet connection, camera and microphone. The current System Check would not recognize or see a firewall or Windows version that may be set up on the candidate device, and which would not allow the OnVUE application on the day of the exam.
