FAQ

Lockdown browser

What browser should I use to click the "begin lockdown" button?

Preferably Chrome, but Edge or Firefox are worth a try if Chrome doesn't work.

I am getting an error about Screencastify.

You are not allowed to use extensions that have screen-recording capabilities. As such, you'd need to remove Screencastify or other screen-recording software. For this particular software, follow the official guide on how to remove it.

Lockdown browser wants to make changes to my computer. Would I have to allow it?

Yes. In order for the Lockdown browser to ensure that you, as the test-taker, are not cheating, it would need to make temporary changes to your computer, such as:

• Disallowing the use of multiple monitors
• Detecting virtual machines
• Use of screen-recording software
