PAEA SecureClient Exam Software Installation
PA SecureClient Lockdown Browser Exams
Exams proctored in person (End of Curriculum or in person End or Rotation Exams) or unproctored (PACKRAT) require the use of an additional software and are administered through a lockdown browser: SecureClient installed to your device.
The SecureClient application locks down the candidate's computer so that no other programs or files can be accessed for the duration of the test. Tests can be downloaded ahead of the test session, meaning that tests can be taken offline or in a center with slow or intermittent internet connection.
SecureClient checks for updates every time you open the application. We encourage students to open SecureClient at least five minutes before the scheduled exam time for this task.
