Try-out/laptop check for a digital exam on-campus on your own laptop
The try-out is a way to test if the Schoolyear software works on your laptop. The software is installed as a part of the tryout. If you are able to do the try-out successfully, then your laptop is ready for the real exam. Further instructions will be available in the exam room. Please note that you have up to 4 attempts per week to complete the try-out!
If you encounter technical issues during the try-out, please visit the Service Point IT in the Forum building.
If you are using a Macbook with an older version of macOS and experience any of the following issues during the try-out, please update your macOS version to 14.5 or higher:
