- Troubleshooting
- File
access: If you cannot download the test
files on this page at 8:30 a.m., notify me immediately. Be
sure to refresh your screen to view the most
current page and not the cached information on
your device.
- Internet
connection: If you experience network
delays and/or crashes during the exam period,
record a short video clip of your work screen
that shows your writing, the frozen or broken
connection, and the date and time in the same
shot. When your device and/or the internet
connection recovers, record a short video clip
of your work screen again, showing your writing,
the returned function/connection, and the date
and time to account for the time lapse. Send
these along with your answer sheet at the end of
the exam period. If file size limit is exceeded,
make sure you send your answer sheet on time,
and attach the video evidence in a separate
later message.
- Non-delivery:
If your response file is undeliverable within
five minutes of sending it, take a screenshot of
the notification message with your answer in the
same shot and send it to inform me
immediately.
- Problems
with responses and delivery can be avoided
with proofreading. Double check not only your
work (Have you translated the headline? Did
you leave a word or phrase for later and have
not gotten back to it? etc.), but also the
send to e-mail address. A typo from haste can
result in the test file not being delivered,
as some of you may have learned the hard way.
To be safe, use the hyperlink or copy and
paste the e-mail address to your message.
