Check your Downloads folder for the setup file and click on that file to run it. 4. Review and agree to the License Agreement. 5. The secure browser will then be installed. For the Windows Security question that appears, it is recommended to click Allow to ensure that the secure browser can identify all programs running (including those in the background) that may need to be closed for exam security. 6.

FAQs

What is the System Compatibility Check for before a PSI proctored exam?

It verifies the laptop or computer meets minimum exam requirements, including internet connectivity, webcam access, and system requirements, and helps confirm security conditions for exam launch.

How should you take the PSI Tutorial Test to avoid problems on exam day?

Take it in the same environment you will use for the exam—device, location, internet connection, and approximate clock hour—so the security checks and procedures match.

What should you do if your name does not match across IIBA, PSI, and your ID?

Contact certification@iiba.org at least one week before the scheduled exam so IIBA can update the required system record.
