If you see a “Session ended abruptly” error message in middle of the test, it means your test ended unexpectedly. This can happen due to a system conflict, loss of connectivity, or a policy violation detected by the platform. Session termination can interrupt your progress and may prevent you from completing your assessment on time — but in most cases, it can be resolved quickly.

Common Troubleshooting Steps

What Might Be WrongWhat You Can Do
Loss of internet connection mid-sessionReconnect to a stable network and refresh the page.
Avoid using mobile hotspots.
Switched tabs or minimized the browserDon’t open new tabs, switch apps, or minimize the test window during your session.
System crashed, restarted, or frozeRestart your device and rejoin the session using the original test link.
Camera/mic was disabled or blockedMake sure camera and microphone permissions are always enabled during the test.
Page got refreshed or test window closedAccidental reloads or closing the browser tab can interrupt the test.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps

  • Close all other apps or tabs to avoid system conflicts.
  • Reopen your original test link to attempt rejoining.
  • Clear your browser cache if errors persist.
  • Run the system check to ensure everything works well.
If your session does not allow automatic rejoining, Talview will log the error and notify the recruiter/assessment provider.
