Summary

Before you can set up Respondus LockDown for one of your exams, the test must be deployed in your course. This article explains how to configure the settings in the Test Options page for exams that will use be administered using Respondus LockDown Browser.

...

  1. Make 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.

  2. Enable force completion - if the exam will be administered without proctoring, you should enable force completion to prevent students from being able to leave the exam and return to it later.

  3. 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.

  5. Do not set a password - leave the password field empty, and the checkbox disabled. Respondus LockDown will apply a randomized string in this field.

  6. Do not enable due date restriction - If you’re using the due date field (not recommended), do not enable the setting for restricting the exam after the due date. If enabled, 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 RemovedIn the Blackboard test options page, the Due Date field is unused, and the due date restriction below it is disabled.
