It is your responsibility to make sure your equipment is suitable and will function for the entire test. Failure to do so may result in your test being invalidated or cancelled with no refund. Small screens (such as laptop screens) may make it harder for you to see everything clearly. We recommend that your electronic devices be connected to a power source for the duration of your test.
