Did you show a 360 degree view of your room AND show your desktop during the environment video?  If not, do it NOW! Please take a moment, before you start the test, and show your webcam that both sides of each sheet of scratch paper are blank, even if you showed it during your environment video.  Also show the calculator, without cover/case, that you will be using to the webcam.   Once this is complete, go to Question 1 and click on the equation editor button or the 3 dots and then the equation editor button.  Give a thumbs up to the camera that this opened properly.  If the equation editor does not open properly, please try closing it and then reopening it.  If this does not help, click submit the test immediately and contact Mrs. Conderman (do NOT look at or work on the test).  This is very unlikely, but it would fall under “technical difficulties” and you will not be penalized for following these directions.
