Clock accuracy error

Troubleshooting

Clock accuracy - failure

This error appears if your computer clock and global clock do not match. You may need to ensure that your clock is synched to the correct global time.

  • Try opening the date and time settings on your device and synching with the Windows or Mac Servers.
  • Sync the device clock with a new server. Inspera uses Google's NTP server: time.google.com
  • You may need to allow access through the firewall: NTP is on port 123 and TCP & UDP.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect keyboard language

You have attempted to start the test with an unapproved keyboard language enabled on your device. In order to pass this system check you will need to switch your device’s keyboard language to one form the approved list for your test.
For example, if you are sitting a language test, you may be required to set your keyboard layout to the language you are being tested on.
To switch keyboard language, go to the Language settings on your device. You may need to install the relevant language pack first.
You can use any physical keyboard (hardware) here, it is only the keyboard language selected in your settings which needs to be changed.
The list of approved keyboard language layouts varies from customer to customer. Please contact your exam provider or educational institution for the list of approved keyboard languages relevant to you.
