If it does not, right-click on the link and select “Open in a new tab.”
• You must stay within the Examity window throughout your exam.
Internet Speed Reminder:
You’ll need at least 2 Mbps of upload and download speed to complete your exam on Examity. Remember,

• During authentication, I navigated away from the Examity screen and now I’m stuck.
Close out of everything and attempt to reschedule your exam session. If you are unable to reschedule, please
reach out to our support team.

Click the Examity extension, located at the top of your browser, then select “Insert Password.”
Passwords

entry screen and it will populate.

- Option 1: Enter text into the box and delete it before selecting “Insert Password.”

to be enabled.
