Many schools use online testing for formative and summation assessments. It's critical that students use a secure browser that prevents them from using other computer or Internet resources during the test. To help schools with this, Windows provides an application called **Take a Test**. The application is a secure browser that can be configured to only allow access to a specific URL or a list of URLs. The application also provides a number of other features to help with testing, such as preventing printing, preventing screen capture, and preventing text suggestions.
There are different ways to configure and use Take a Test.
The simplest approach is to generate a *secure assessment URL* and share it with the students. Students can then use the URL access the assessment through Take a Test. This approach is recommended for lower stakes assessments, and it's described in [Create and distribute a secure assessment link](#create-and-distribute-a-secure-assessment-link).
Another approach is to configure the devices to use a dedicated account for testing. This approach is recommended for higher stakes assessments. Depending if you need to configure a single device or multiple devices, the process is described in [[Configure Take a Test with a dedicated account on a single device](#configure-a-single-device-for-testing)](#configure-take-a-test-with-a-dedicated-account-on-a-single-device) or [Configure Take a Test with a dedicated account on multiple devices](#configure-take-a-test-with-a-dedicated-account-on-multiple-devices)).

- Another approach is to configure the devices to use a dedicated account for testing. This option is recommended for higher stakes assessments, as students must sign in using the test-taking account, and they cannot access any applications other than Take a Test. Depending if you need to configure a single device or multiple devices, the process is described in the following sections:
