Function test INSPERA
The INSPERA on-site function test is mandatory for all students taking the above-mentioned exams. The function test must be completed every semester. During the specified time window, you can take the function test (approx. 20 minutes) and receive technical support for the INSPERA exam software and the Safe Exam Browser (SEB).
- ***Dates for function test will be updated as soon as possible***
This test is used to install the current version of the Safe Exam Browser (SEB) and to verify its functionality and access to the INSPERA exam software. Proper installation of SEB is a prerequisite for taking the exam, and the correct completion of the functionality test will be verified. Students who do not complete the functionality test are not entitled to technical support from the exam supervisor in the event of technical issues on the day of the exam. No additional exam time will be granted for installing SEB during the exam.
Registration for the functionality test is not required. Students taking INSPERA exams at various faculties only need to complete the function test once per semester. Students registered for the above-mentioned exams will receive further information about the INSPERA function test by email prior to the exam session (after the registration deadline).
