1. After registering to the exam through UNIMIA, wait for the email
confirmation specifying:
the exam date and time (they may be different from those provided at the time of registration, depending on the number of participants);
the web conference system, with instructions for connecting through your smartphone;
the type of exam: computer-based written exam, written exam partially or totally on paper;
a reminder to read carefully and follow the instructions provided in this document (Exams on the exam.net platform Instructions for students).
2. The exam.net platform requires a specific browser, called SEB (Safe Exam Browser) which prevents the candidate from performing any operation on his computer other than the exam. If you have never taken an exam on this platform, access this link well in advance: https://support.exam.net/#/high- security, select the installation file suitable for your operating system (Windows or macOS) and follow the installation instructions.
Please note: As with any other software, to install SEB on your computer, you must have administrator rights, or the administrator password.
Please also note: do not run SEB as a stand alone program, since it requires a configuration file which is passed from the exam.net platform.
3. Download well in advance the App of the web conference system required by the teacher, as notified to your smartphone, and make sure that your smartphone is able to scan a QR code (or download the App to do so).
4. Set up the workstation to be used during the exam, bearing in mind that you will have to:
connect with your smartphone to the web conference, at the request of the teacher provide a view of the room where you will sit for the exam, show your identity document via your smartphone;
then position your smartphone so that it frames you and your workstation from behind, as shown in Figure 1, for example by placing it on a library shelf or on the shelf of a fairly high piece of furniture, and make sure that it holds still;
connect your smartphone to the power supply to prevent the battery from running low during the exam;

make sure your computer is connected to the power supply for the duration of the exam.

o deliver your work (Submit exam).

in case of lost connection, reconnect immediately to the web conference; if this is impossible, report it via the chat and agree on another date with the teacher;
wait until the time expires without leaving your desk.
