System Requirements

This article details the minimum system requirements for the Surpass Platform and all available test delivery methods.

Overview

The minimum specifications detailed in this article are for one candidate sitting a test on one device. Please also note:

• Tests with lots of items and rich content may require a higher minimum internet speed and/or a higher machine specification to run efficiently.
• Screens should be scaled to 100% for administration and test delivery. Some features (for example, side-by-side viewing of source material) require 1920 x 1080 pixel screen resolutions.
• If delivering tests in SecureClient, familiarise yourself with the SecureClient best practice guidance. For example, SecureClient should be the only application running on a device.
• This article does not refer to storage limits for best performance, file size restrictions, or minimum/maximum entry requirements. For this information, read Limits.

Standard browser delivery

Online-only secure browser delivery

The minimum specification for online-only secure browser delivery is the same as standard browser delivery, except it is not supported in chromeOS.

Online-only secure browser delivery has some additional limitations. Ensure you read About online-only secure browser delivery before delivering any tests in secure browser mode.

Secure browser delivery on iPad/Mac devices uses SecureClient. If using iPad/Mac devices in secure browser mode, refer to the SecureClient for iPad/Mac minimum specifications below
