Hello all,
New to the forum here so I appreciate any feedback that can be offered. Quick story, I am attempting to go to law school. I took the LSAT in November virtually which is the only method of taking it right now and I'm using my base model M1 Macbook Air with 8GB of RAM. During the test (which is administered in Chrome with the Proctor U extension) I was booted from the program saying I had insufficient memory available to continue. Test went downhill from there but that is beside the point. Really confused by this because I have never had a single issue before in any sort of workload I have thrown at the computer. I am now taking the exam in the same format again on Saturday morning so I decided to try and test this issue beforehand. I used the ProctorU tool on their website to test my system and the only point of failure was again my RAM usage and I'm just really confused how this could be as I only have Chrome open, and the ProctorU tool states that my RAM usage is at 98%. Is there anything I can do to lower the alleged usage of my RAM? Any insight is appreciated, I've attached two screenshots for reference.
