Summary

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

Instructions

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.

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

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.

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.

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 RemovedIn the Blackboard test options page, the Due Date field is unused, and the due date restriction below it is disabled.
