How to Check if You Can Access TestInvite

Before attempting a test, try these steps:

- Test Your Connection: Visit testinvite.com and check if the website loads properly.

- Check Local Internet Restrictions: Some governments block international platforms.

- Ask Your Organization: If your employer, school, or exam provider has a TestInvite account, they might offer alternative access solutions.

Alternative Access Solutions (If Legally Permitted)

If you are in a restricted country but are authorized to take an assessment on TestInvite, consider:

- Using a VPN (If Permitted): A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help bypass local restrictions by routing your internet connection through another country. However, ensure VPN use is legal in your country before proceeding. Some governments prohibit VPNs, and unauthorized use may lead to penalties.

- Using a Secure Network: Some universities or employers provide VPNs to bypass local restrictions.

- Corporate or University Proxy Servers: Some organizations have dedicated proxy servers to enable access.

- Contacting Support: If you have authorization, reach out to TestInvite Support for guidance.

Important Notice: TestInvite complies with international regulations, including U.S. and EU sanctions. We do not support or encourage unauthorized circumvention of legal restrictions. If your country has a legal restriction on accessing foreign platforms, you must follow local regulations.
