PAEA Secure Browser Exam Software Installation
PA Secure Browser 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: PAEA Secure Browser installed to your device.
The PAEA Secure Browser application locks down the candidate's computer so that no other programs or files can be accessed for the duration of the test.
PAEA Secure Browser checks for updates every time you open the application. We encourage students to open Secure Browser at least five minutes before the scheduled exam time for this task.
