  2. Navigate to the desired exam and click the Edit button in the top right-hand of the page to access the settings.

  3. Change the Quiz Instructions text to include the following directions:

    This exam must be taken with Respondus LockDown Browser. Please download it here: https://download.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=497143110

  4. Make Set the exam available to students - the setting to make an exam available should always be set to Yes. Otherwise, students will not be able to access the test.

    In the Blackboard test options page, the radio button next to 'make available to students' is set to 'yes'Image Removed

  5. Enable force completion (recommended) - In an un-proctored setting, enabling the force Completion setting is recommended to prevent students from being able to leave the exam and return to it later.

    In the Blackboard test options page, the checkbox next to 'force completion' is enabled.Image Removed

  6. Set an exam timer (recommended) - turn on the auto-submit setting. This will end and grade the exam when the timer expires. These settings are recommended but not required.

    In the Blackboard test options page, an exam timer is set and the auto-submit setting is turned on.Image Removed

  7. Set the availability window - set the desired dates in the Display After and the Display Until fields. Set the desired times next to each one.

    In the Blackboard test options page, the 'Display after' and the 'Display until' settings are both populated and enabled.Image Removed

  8. Do not set a password - leave the password field empty, and the checkbox disabled. When you configure Lockdown Browser, a password will be automatically assigned in this field.

    In the Blackboard test options page, the password field is clear and the setting is unchecked.Image Removed

  9. Apply extended time accommodations - If your exam is timed, remember to add extended time exceptions for any students who qualify.

    In the Blackboard test options page, an example student is added under 'test availability exceptions'. The student's timer is set for 120 mins, and the auto-submit option is enabled.Image Removed

  10. Do not enable due date restriction - Do not enable the setting for restricting the exam after the due date. This setting will prevent some make-up and accommodated testers from being able to access the test. The availability window (Step 4) is sufficient for controlling students' access to the exam.

    In the Blackboard test options page, the Due Date field is unused, and the due date restriction below it is disabled. This is the correct configuration.Image Removed

  11. Under Show Test Results And Feedback To Students, it is recommended that you set both the feedback fields to Choose. This will prevent access to exam content after submission (including the question text, students' responses, and correct/incorrect answers). Students can still see their overall score in their Grade Center. However, if possible, going over the test should be done with the instructor rather than allowing access to the exam material.

  12. If you would like for students to be able to see question feedback, click the checkbox next to the option to allow students to see their responses. Consider restricting this to a one-time view after submission to prevent exam material from being shared outside of the testing environment. You can always change the availability of feedback and correct answers at a later time.

  13. Set the availability window as needed. For exams administered in-class, it is recommended that you make the test available 5 minutes before class begins. It may help to also add 5 minutes to the availability deadlines.

  14. If the exam will be administered in class, it is recommended that you set an access code (password) that you only share with students at the start of class. This is to prevent students from accessing the test at home. You should also change this password immediately after class, but not during the test.
