Respondus LockDown Browser


Tips

  • We recommend that all instructors provide a Respondus 'test' quiz that students can use to verify that Respondus is working properly on their machine. Always keep your Respondus program and  your computer up-to-date. If updates are available, install them before taking an exam. Don't wait until the it's time to take a real exam to find out that your Respondus program isn't working on your machine.  
  • Make sure that your computer is fully charged before starting an exam. 
  • Most Respondus problems are due to one of the following:
    • Firewall conflicts 
    • Anti-Virus software conflicts 
    • Loss of internet connectivity > send teacher a message and try to reconnect and resume exam
