The Internet speed test for downloading and uploading data allows you to determine the performance and reliability of your connection.
- Latency: time that elapses between the moment you launch a request and the moment the expected result occurs. Low latency is essential for real-time activities such as online exams.
- Download speed: rate that digital data is transferred from the Internet to your computer.
- Upload speed: rate that online data is transferred from your computer to the Internet.
To test the stability and performance of your Internet connection:
- Log in to the Nexam Platform.
- In the left margin, click on "Validate your device."
- In the Connection Speed Test section, click on "Start", if a yellow or red level is obtained, be sure to remedy the situation before attending your assessment.
Internal and external factors can disrupt the reliability of your Internet connection.
✅ Other tips and tricks to improve your internet connection speed:
- The condition of your computer can have significant repercussions. Using a newer model may offer better performance.
- The efficiency of your high-speed modem can optimize connectivity. Prioritize the wired connection, or move closer to your router if you're on WI-FI.
- The installation of your router and the number of devices connected to it can slow down the connection. If you're at home, make sure you're the only person using the Internet during your exam.
- Technical problems such as high latency can affect Internet speeds by causing delays in data transmission. Remove any physical obstacles that may impede router service.
- The condition and operation of your home's connection, whether telephone lines, cable or fiber, can disrupt Internet reliability and speed.
After trying these steps, if speeds don't improve, contact your Internet service provider.
The internet connection must be stable during the exam period and should be at least 10 Mbps for download and 10 Mbps for upload.
