Follow these guidelines to complete each type successfully while adhering to platform rules. *** ### 1. Objective Assessments Objective Assessments feature multiple-choice questions (MCQ or MCA) with timers and auto-submit functions. **Dos:** * Read instructions carefully and select one answer for MCQ or all applicable options for MCA questions. * Monitor the visible countdown timer for total time or per-section limits to pace responses evenly. * Use the **"Hide timer"** feature in your assessment to reduce distractions and maintain focus. **Don'ts:** * Attempt to pause or restart once started, as most must finish in one sitting. * Switch devices or tabs, which may end the session prematurely. * Ignore auto-submit at time expiry, as it prevents re-access. *** ### 2. Coding Assessments Coding Assessments like Code-Solo support over 80 languages with built-in editors for writing, testing, and validating against test cases. **Dos:** * Select your preferred language early, then use auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and test runners to verify code. * Test against visible and edge cases before submitting to ensure passes contribute to scores. * Monitor the **timer** closely. When the time expires, your assessment will be **Auto submitted**. * Submit only after confirming all tests pass consistently in a stable environment. **Don'ts:** * Rely solely on visible tests, as hidden ones determine final scores. * Switch languages mid-assessment or use unapproved external tools. *** ### 3. Asynchronous Video Assessments Asynchronous Video Assessments present one video question at a time for timed recording. **Dos:** * Take advantage of the **practice session** to become comfortable with the platform and its features before the actual assessment. * Prepare a structured response during think time, speaking clearly to the camera with eye contact. * Use the countdown to adjust posture, restate the question briefly, and pace within the progress bar. * Stay natural, using off-screen bullet notes without reading verbatim. **Don'ts:** * Refresh, close the window, or stop mid-recording unless instructed, risking session end. * Rush or exceed time by ignoring the timer; summarize key points if needed. * Use scripts or face away from the camera during delivery. *** ### 4. Proctoring and General Guidelines Proctored assessments across types include **facial recognition, ID verification,** **environment scans** and **secondary camera setup.** **Dos:** * Join 5-10 minutes early on Chrome or Edge with stable 2 Mbps+ internet in a quiet, lit space. * Complete **360-degree room scan**s via secondary camera and maintain professional body language. * Clear cache, disable VPNs/adblockers, and close bandwidth-heavy apps before starting. **Don'ts:** * Use public Wi-Fi, mobile hotspots without verification, or locations with distractions. * Switch tabs, share screens without permission, or leave the workstation during monitoring. * Attempts rejoin without checking progress save, contact support for issues instead. **Additional Tips** * Test your setup using practice session or system diagnostics before starting to confirm camera, mic, and internet stability. * Keep a stable wired connection over Wi-Fi when possible, aiming for 2 Mbps upload/download speeds to prevent disruptions. * Position in a well-lit room facing a plain wall, avoiding reflections or clutter that could trigger proctoring flags. * Note the exact assessment link and start time; arrive 10 minutes early but do not refresh if minor delays occur. * Focus on **time management**, prioritize high value questions first and flag others for review.
