Once this setting is established, you also have the option to add an exam specific password that students will need to exit the exam early. This allows exam proctors to providethe password in case of system or computer issues during an exam.
- The second setting will allow students to take the exam with an iPad, using the free LockDown Browser app.
- The third setting will allow specific students to access the exam with screen reader accessibility programs. See respondus.com/accessibility for an additional step that’s required by the student.
