# What are the system requirements for taking a Xobin assessment? (Proctored and Semi Proctored, Non Proctored)

Refer to the guide below for full browser and device requirements:
[What browser and device should candidates use?](https://xobin.crisp.help/en-us/article/what-browser-and-device-should-candidates-use-18q5ede/)

**Proctored & Semi-Proctored Assessments:**
These assessments monitor the candidate's environment using advanced tracking tools and therefore require a higher network speed and a stable system setup.
* **Internet Connection:** Minimum 50 Mbps; recommended 100 Mbps or higher.
* **Device:** A laptop or desktop with a functional webcam and microphone.
* **Browser Setup:** Open the test in a **Google Chrome Incognito window** (Ctrl + Shift + N for Windows and Cmd + Shift + N for MacBook).
* **Preparation Checklist:**
    * Clear browser history and cache before starting.
    * Disable all active browser extensions and plugins, as they may interfere with proctoring scripts.
    * Restart the browser immediately before opening the assessment.
* **Background Setup:** Candidates must sit in front of a plain background. In AI-proctored assessments, objects such as photographs or posters in the background may be flagged as violations.

**Non-Proctored Assessments:**
These assessments do not actively monitor the candidate's camera or microphone, so resource and network requirements are lower.
* **Internet Connection:** Minimum 30 Mbps; recommended 50 Mbps or higher.
* **Device:** A laptop or desktop is strongly recommended for the best experience. Tablets are supported, but mobile phones are not advisable.
