RM Assessment Master and ATT Practice Test/Secure Browser Test
The RM Assessment Master website was impacted by the worldwide PHP vulnerability issue that you may have seen in the news.
This has now been resolved (as at 16.00 on 23 October) and the practice test and secure browser tests are now available again for you to test prior to the ATT exams.
Due to the downtime experienced whilst the issue was fixed the Talview Browser testing window will remain open beyond 23 October 2026. Candidates will therefore have the week commencing 26 October 2026 to complete the required browser compatibility check in preparation for their examination.
System Requirements for the November 2026 examinations
The November 2026 ATT examinations will be held via a new examinations platform, RM Assessment Master, with remote proctoring services provided by Talview.
Candidates are advised to consult the RM System Requirements to ensure that the devices they are intending to use are compatible. In due course, in the lead up to the examination, candidates will receive instructions and a link in order to undertake a full system compatibility check prior to the examination.
RM HALO candidate support facility
The RM HALO candidate support facility is now available to all ATT candidates registered for the November 2026 examinations. If candidates are undertaking the Secure Browser Test and experience any difficulties, particularly technical difficulties, we strongly encourage candidates to use the RM HALO Assessment Support service and the chatbot facility. If the guidance cannot rectify the problem, it will be escalated to the RM technical support team.
