  • Allow you to record video responses in the first section of the test

Your webcam must remain:

  • Turned on

  • Facing directly toward you for the entire test duration

Your microphone should be:

  • Positioned close to your mouth

  • Adjusted for clear sound

  • Used with a moderate device volume

  • Ensuring you speak clearly during the video response section


Remote monitoring:

The Acuity Insights team may remotely observe your test session at any time to make sure you follow the terms of use.


Technical Requirements:

Before you register or begin the test, make sure your computer has:

  • A functioning webcam and microphone

  • A stable, high-speed internet connection
