System Data
How to find the system information we need
For those who will be working from their personal machines, we need to verify your computer system can handle the software that we use for specialist tasks, so we ask you to provide some basic system information as part of your onboarding.
If you are provided a laptop by iMerit, you do not need to provide the below information. Simply write 'N/A' in all fields.
Internet Connection Speed
We ask all Scholars to test their internet speed, so that we can be sure you have a fast enough connection to use our software. Please take the following steps to test your speed:
Open Google chrome or your favorite web browser
Go to Google.com and search "Internet speed Test"
Click RUN SPEED TEST and wait for the test to complete
Take a screenshot of the test results
If you need more help, please watch this video to see how the test works.
