It emphasizes taking a practice quiz first to familiarize oneself with the exam environment, particularly the LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor, and suggests contacting the instructor if no practice quiz is available. The guide advises testing the internet connection and entire setup before the actual exam using the LockDown Browser's Help Center or the startup sequence on respondus.com/webcam. Regular updates to LockDown Browser are recommended by checking for updates via the (i) button on the toolbar. In troubleshooting scenarios during pre-exam steps, users are directed to select 'It's not working' for access to comprehensive assistance and 24/7 live chat support. For improving internet connectivity, the document strongly recommends using a wired Ethernet connection if feasible, potentially with an Ethernet-to-USB adapter if the computer lacks a direct port. If Wi-Fi is the only option, users should position themselves as close to the router as possible, steer clear of public Wi-Fi networks, and close all other applications, including restarting the device. Disconnecting or disabling other devices that share the same Wi-Fi network is also advised. To minimize internet strain during the exam, the guide cautions against repeatedly clicking 'Save,' as each action consumes bandwidth and increases interruption risk. Finally, individuals sharing an internet connection are asked to refrain from high-bandwidth activities such as streaming video or online gaming until the exam is completed.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/test-taking-tips-for-slow-or-unreliable-internet-connections/269523/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/test-taking-tips-for-slow-or-unreliable-internet-connections/269523.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Jiven","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-15",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",13,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What is the first recommended step for students with slow internet connections facing online exams?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Students should first take a practice quiz that utilizes LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor to get familiar with the exam environment.
