Before your exam day, go to the NBME Secure Browser page and follow the on-screen instructions to run the Secure Browser. Select the Workstation Certification icon. Select the Examinee Personal Laptop Certification link. The utility will test the laptop for compatibility with web-based testing.
If the test is successful, you will be prompted to launch a sample exam as the final step. If the test is not successful, the system will provide feedback. If the instructions require further assistance from the technical support staff (i.e. a recording application or process detected), email Ken Melton as to the specific error you experience so we may assist you in resolving the issue before the exam. Note that you will only have three attempts to test your laptop before the system will lock you out.
If you have any questions or need technical support for laptop certifications, please email Senior Instructional Tech Associate, Ken Melton or schedule a meeting.
