Zoom

It is possible to use the browser's built-in Zoom feature to enlarge the size of the print and the photos of the test.

Page zoom increases the size of all elements of a webpage. This includes text, images, and videos.

Google Chrome & Mozilla Firefox

There are two ways to access the zoom feature of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox : by using keyboard shortcuts, and by using the menu.

To zoom using keyboard shortcuts :
On Windows, press Ctrl and + to zoom in, and Ctrl and - to zoom out.
On Mac, press ⌘ and + to zoom in, and ⌘ and - to zoom out.

To zoom using the menu :
Open the browser's Menu by clicking on the button to the right of the search bar. In Chrome, this is designated by three vertical dots, and in Firefox by three horizontal lines.
Beside the option Zoom, you can click + to increase the zoom, and - to reduce the zoom.

Contrast

It is possible to alter the contrast of a webpage to maximize your comfort.
