Which version of the Pearson Onscreen Platform do I need, and how can I check which version is installed?

FAQ

These are the current versions of the Pearson Onscreen Platform. You should always aim to run the most up-to-date version to ensure that you can run tests successfully. Sometimes, the versions will change due to updates we are making in the backend of the systems, but if there is an update to the components that you use that requires your immediate action, we will always communicate this to your centre.
