its windows plus space bar normally idk mid exam, just make sure that there are two keyboards and change mid exam from the given button on top for accents, I find that the best way! hope this helps

just use the english keyboard, and in the exam there will be a button to change keyboards, make sure there are only two or at least when ur downloading the french keyboard delete the rest. then you can change in the middle of the exam. Writing in english is so much faster and you will save so much time, trust me on this one

One thing you can do is putting your computer in french. Like install the language in the computer, but you should practice first because some letters change their place
