# Instructions for Taking a Proctored Test

> Essential instructions for candidates taking a proctored test on AutoProctor, including submit button order, device requirements, and Google account setup.

AutoProctor monitors your camera, audio, and screen activity during proctored tests using AI-powered analysis. Follow these instructions carefully before starting your test to ensure everything runs smoothly and your answers are saved correctly.

<Warning>
  For non-Socratease quizzes, you must click the submit buttons in the correct order. If you skip the purple button, **all your answers will be lost** and cannot be recovered.
</Warning>

## Try the Demo Test First

AutoProctor requires modern browser technologies to function. Before your actual test, take the demo to confirm your device works.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the demo test link">
    Visit [the AutoProctor demo test](https://www.autoproctor.co/tests/start-test/GFICZZZA/) on the device and browser you plan to use for your actual test.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the demo">
    Follow the on-screen prompts to verify that your camera, microphone, and browser are compatible with AutoProctor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Troubleshoot if needed">
    If the demo loads successfully, your assigned test will work too. If the demo loads but your assigned test does not, sign out of all your Google accounts at [accounts.google.com/Logout](https://accounts.google.com/Logout) and try again.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If one test loads on your device, all other tests will load too. The demo test is the best way to verify compatibility before your actual test.
</Note>

## Submit Buttons

For non-Socratease quizzes (Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, etc.), there are **two submit buttons** that you must click in the correct order:

1. **Purple Submit Button** (bottom) -- click this **first** to save your answers to the quiz provider
2. **Green Submit Button** (top) -- click this **second** to submit the proctored session to AutoProctor

</Frame>

<Warning>
  If you do not click the **purple button first**, all the answers you entered will be lost. Always click the purple submit button before clicking the green submit button.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Socratease quizzes have only **one submit button**, so there is no risk of answer loss. See [Submit Button Differences](/how-to-submit-quiz) for details.
</Note>

## Google Account Setup

If you are taking a Google Forms test, follow these steps before opening the test link:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log out of all Google accounts">
    Visit [accounts.google.com/Logout](https://accounts.google.com/Logout) to sign out of every Google account on your device.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Log in with the correct account">
    Sign back in with the Google account your test administrator specified. This is the account that has permission to access the test form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the test link">
    Navigate to the test link provided by your administrator.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Browser and Device Requirements

| Device                  | Browser       | Minimum Version |
| ----------------------- | ------------- | --------------- |
| iPhone / iPad           | Safari        | 13+             |

* Update your browser to the latest version if you are running an older release.
* Your device should ideally be less than 3 years old.
* AutoProctor runs AI algorithms on your camera and audio feeds in real time, which requires significant processing power.
* If your device runs everyday apps well but struggles with AutoProctor, you may need to switch to a more powerful device. AutoProctor demands more processing power than typical websites like YouTube or social media.

<Note>
  If AutoProctor does not work on your device despite following all instructions, you will need to use a different device with better hardware specifications. See [Device Compatibility](/device-compatibility) for full details.
