E Testing Quick Reference Guide 2022 - 2023

E-Testing, also known as computer-based testing, involves taking exams on a personal computer rather than a paper test. The Ministry of Education in Trinidad and Tobago provides e-testing for certain exams. An app called Secure Client is used to ensure the computer can only be used for the test by preventing internet access. On test day, candidates arrive early and are provided with a laptop loaded with Secure Client. They enter a keycode to access their secure online exam and can get technical support if needed.
