Assessment Tips and Tricks

1. Mozilla Firefox works best. To download this browser, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
2. Do NOT use a laptop with a wireless connection. Wireless connections are like cell phones. Sometimes they can drop your signal. If that happens, you may lose your connection to ANGEL. If this occurs, you will not be able to turn in your exam.

If you only have a wireless connection, you may use a computer in the EvCC Library or computer labs. In addition, you may use a computer at a public library.
