Why can't I certify my test sitting?
Not all test sittings can be certified.
- If you took the Speaking Test before the 17th May 2022, your sitting cannot be certified.
- If you failed security review, and your room scan or test sitting photos do not meet our security standards, your sitting cannot be certified.
-
- You could fail security review due to any of the following reasons:
- There are other people in your testing environment
- Talking is detected
- Unauthorised devices are detected in the testing environment - e.g. phone, computer, smartwatch
- You could fail security review due to any of the following reasons:
-
- If you took your test over a year ago, your sitting cannot be certified.
- If you took a test without security (camera) enabled, your sitting cannot be certified.
Please make sure the test security is turned on during the checks before you start the test - it should look like this:
In all cases, we recommend that you retake the test under secure conditions. You should then be able to get your certificate.
