Chromebook to take CSA exam?

[Vive]

Hello, 

I predominantly use a Macbook, and I only own a Mac. I see for the CSA exam that I have to use a PC with either Chrome or Internet Explorer (I will be using Chrome). Has anyone taken the CSA exam with the external camera on a Chromebook laptop? That would be the least expensive option for me, since I will have to buy a laptop just for the CSA exam. 

Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Vive,

There is no browser requirement (where did you read that?), but there are operating system requirements, and Chromebooks are not supported. Please see the official testing requirements at the Kryterion (the ServiceNow testing partner) website:

Among other requirements, you need to install the Sentinel Secure application:

Hope this helps.

Hello,

The minimum requirements for Windows, to include browser, are listed in the link you shared, such as saying:

• The latest version of Google Chrome or Firefox

Kryterion does suggest and want people to use specific web browsers as they are the most reliable and successful for indviduals.

As far as a Mac though, the author could still utilize the Mac, taking into account they meet the requirements.

I think you may have meant "there is no requirement for only PC", not browser.

In any case, just wanted to clarify that!

Good links though to their site for the author to reference in any case 🙂

As a side note, the answer the author, I would not recommend a chromebook and you probably wouldn't be able to install the software "Sentinel" on it anyway.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!
