I have a question about the GRE and the ETS people were less than helpful— has anyone successfully taken the GRE at home on a Mac computer? I asked the GRE about it because it says that for ProctorU you have to have a computer with Windows and a webcam (which I don’t) and their response was this:
“Computer
-Must be a desktop or laptop computer, not a tablet or mobile device.
-Must use Windows® operating system, versions 10, 8, or 7. Cannot use an iOS® operating system.
-Can use a Mac® computer, with at least Mac OS X 10.5. Note that it is recommended you use Mac OS X 10.13 High Sierra.
-Must use Chrome or Firefox browser.
-Download and install the ETS Test Browser on the computer you will use for the test. To fully install the browser, you must run the .exe file after downloading it. If you receive an error message, please follow these troubleshooting steps (PDF).
-Run the ProctorU® System Check from the computer you will use for the test.”
So I’m a bit unclear— in their response they said it “must” use the Windows operating system, but then they go on to say that you can use a computer with MacOS High Sierra.
If anyone can help me out I’d really appreciate it, I really need to retake the GRE before it’s too late and none of the testing centers near me are open!
