I don't believe the internet speed is a real requirement - I have a 10MB/sec connection and everything worked just fine. I believe those are the suggested requirements to make sure everything goes smooth (and to make sure you will have a proper connection to work on future projects, if you pass). If you have a lower - but fast - connection, I believe you may take the test without any problem, maybe you will encounter a couple seconds of buffering in the sections including video streaming.
Regarding the OS, I read on other groups that users with Windows 7 had some issues, maybe you should make sure this will not be a problem. I can't help here because I'm a Mac user, sorry.

...unfortunately I keep getting a Bad Gateway error that prevents me from going any further than the login page. I have a decent internet speed (well, for italian standards, about 6-7 Mb/sec) so I assumed that was the issue. Sent an email to the guys but no reply yet. Too bad! :)
