Your Recruiter may enforce proctoring for your HackerRank Test. Proctoring allows your Recruiter to monitor your focus on the Test screen and detect any malpractices during the test.

For the DTCC CODE-A-THON, three types of proctoring will be enabled. 

Proctoring or Webcam Proctoring 

DTCC CODE-A-THON will have a proctored test, and you need to enable your webcam to take the test. Please note that you will not be able to start the test if the webcam is not enabled for your system or if you have a faulty webcam installed.

Here are a few things to remember while taking a proctored test: 

• Always make sure that you are sitting in a well-lit area and that your face is clearly visible during the test.
• Make sure that your face is perfectly positioned in front of the camera.
• Do not let anyone sit behind you during the test. Only your face should be visible to the camera.
• This test is being proctored; hence your photos will be taken during the test at a periodic time interval. Only the person taking the test should be visible in those photos. 

You must follow these rules while taking the proctored test. It may cause disqualification for the next round if not followed properly.

Tab Proctoring 

Tab proctoring will be enabled for your test; hence we advise you not to switch tabs in between while taking the test as the same will get captured in your report, resulting in disqualification for the next round.

Copy/Paste Tracking  

Copy/Paste Tracking will be enabled for your test. If you try to paste a copied code in the assessment, it will be shown in the test report and may result in disqualification from further rounds.

If you have completed your registration successfully on the DTCC portal with all accurate details and are eligible for the program, you will receive your invitation by the XXth of XXX 2022. Before reaching out for help, please check other folders (including spam) in your email service. If you still cannot find the invite, it could mean that you are not eligible for the test at the moment. 

Please ensure to use a webcam-enabled computer for the test. You can check your webcam status here. If your webcam is not detected there, it could mean a driver-related issue within the Operating System.

If your webcam is working but you are still getting errors, here are some quick troubleshooting tips.

• Use the latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox while attempting the test.
• Turn off any active anti-virus software on your computer. 
• Update or reinstall your webcam driver
• Restart your computer. 

You can refer to the Webcam Troubleshooting Guide for more troubleshooting tips.

All the work you submitted before losing the internet connection is saved on our servers. After the internet connectivity is resumed, you can log on to the test again (if it is not past the test completion time) and resume answering the questions. The test timer does not stop ticking when you are offline, and the test ends at the scheduled time. We advise you to have a backup internet connection to use in a worst-case scenario as you can not retake or extend the duration once the given time is over. 

The interface saves your answer automatically. If the test ended before you could submit it, the saved answer is automatically submitted in the test as the final answer.

DTCC will review your test attempt and get back to you with your test result. Request you to be patient during this period.
