For all tests except Level 2 Cambridge Technicals in Digital Media unit 2C and Level 3 Cambridge Technicals in Performing Art unit 2C (see below), candidates use SecureClient to sit the test. In most cases, this restricts access to other applications on the computer.
The candidate navigates through the test entering their responses, accessing any linked source material and uploading worked files as required by the test. The time remaining is displayed at the top of the screen and warnings pop up at five and 15 minutes remaining.
The candidate can finish the test before the time expires and the completed test is uploaded if an Internet connection is present.
The tests show with a finished status in the Invigilate tab. Depending on the test, the result will either be available immediately in the Results tab or be available to an examiner for marking.
