Anyone used Mercer Mettl Proctered Exams?

We have a few students doing Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing and have been told these will be on the Mercer Mettl platform.

Has anyone used this, I assume it's all web based and no need for any downloaded clients?

This is what we've been sent for these, looks like it is browser based:

We've got some of these coming up, too. We're needing candidates to have webcams available for their tests, and the system requirements are listing Java. Eurgh.

Says Chromebooks can be used. Might be the best way for us.

Just hope its not anything like Pearson Vue. I've heard some horror stories of it just outright refusing to work and then missing exam slots. Why Microsoft still use them is a mystery to me.

Apparently there will be test exams available so that you can check it all works OK

These are lies. It requires a browser extension and Mettl/CMAT should be ashamed!
