Calling all IT experts! Poor connectivity - I can't sit my exam!

Hi all

I am not techy at all, hopefully someone can help.

I have to sit an exam, its a distance learning exam. I have logged in, and the website has assessed the connectivity of my system and it seems to indicate that I have poor connectivity. It reads:
"Status

Connection: 0.23Mb/s "

Can someone tell me what could be causing the poor connectivity? Is it related to:

1) Having too many files on my laptop?
2) Having a cheap laptop? It's a Lenovo ideapad 110, has HDMI, and says something about 3.0 (dunno what that means!)
3) The venue that I am sitting in (I am using my own laptop but I am in a public library)
4) The numbers of people on wifi in the library
5) All the above
6) Other (please specify)
