Prepare for your assessment

Start with your invitation

• Check the assessment name, date, start time, end time and timezone.
• Read the allowed-tool, device and permission requirements supplied by your organizer.
• Keep your organizer’s support channel available. Ask how to get help during the round.
• Tell your organizer ahead of time if the format, a permission or a device requirement may prevent you from participating.

Install and sign in

1. 1

   Choose the right installer

   Go to app.amsaccess.com. Match the package to your operating system and processor. If your organizer names a version, confirm it before installing or updating.

2. 2

   Open the installed desktop app

   Complete installation before assessment day. Follow your organizer’s account instructions and use the login details issued for your round. The organizer sign-in on this website is for teams running assessments.

3. 3

   Find the right contest

   On Home, find your assessment under Contests. Check its title and schedule against your invitation. Use Search contests or clear the search and select Refresh if it is missing.

Prepare, then check entry for this round

1. 1

   Test your devices

   Open Settings → Hardware before the round. Test the camera and microphone required by your organizer, then review the device readiness information on Home.

2. 2

   Read the contest’s entry state

   A contest can be unpublished, not yet open, ready for setup, running or ended. Installation and a visible contest card do not by themselves grant entry. Follow the action and timing shown on that card.

3. 3

   Complete the entry checks

   When entry is available, open the contest and read Required checks and Optional warnings. Resolve required failures and complete the setup screens shown for your round before entering the workspace.
