TIPS
- Prior to your first assessment, complete the practice quiz available in most courses using the LockDown Browser to make sure it works correctly.
- If a LockDown Browser update is available the program will take time to install it when the Lockdown Browser is a opened. Something you might check for before the day of a major exam.
- For Windows computers, routinely install Windows updates (due on the second Tuesday of the month after 6 pm) so you don't have to wait for them to install if you have to restart your computer just before the exam.
