I can’t find the test access code

If you can’t locate the access code for the test, you can find it directly in your teacher account.
👉 The code is also included in the confirmation email sent to the coordinator a few days before the contest.

💡 Tip: Search your confirmation email using the keyword "prepare for the online format test".

Some questions aren’t displayed correctly

If some questions aren’t displayed or the audio files aren’t working, you can refresh the page.

Steps based on screen size

  • On a large screen (computer, large tablet):
    A message will appear on the test page reading:
    "The page isn’t displaying correctly or there’s a problem with the audio file? Click here multiple times until the problem is resolved."
    👉 Click this button several times until the issue is fixed or the file downloads.

  • On a smaller screen (smartphone, small tablet):

    • Click the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) in the top-right corner of the screen.

    • A window will open, with a green button at the bottom of the window.

    • Click this button multiple times until the file loads.

💡 Tip: If the issue persists, try switching to a different browser (use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) or clearing your browser cache.

I can’t view a page

If you can’t load a page, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Check your internet connection.
2️⃣ Refresh the page (CTRL + R on PC, CMD + R on Mac, or use the refresh button in your browser).

Good to know

  • The timer automatically pauses if the page encounters an issue.

  • Student responses are saved every minute, so no progress is lost.

💡 Tip: If the issue persists, try switching browsers or restarting the device.
