It's critical that students use a secure browser that prevents them from using other computer or Internet resources during the test. The **Take a Test** app in Windows 10, Version 1607, creates the right environment for taking a test: - A Microsoft Edge browser window opens, showing just the test and nothing else. - Students aren’t able to go to other websites. - Students can’t open or access other apps. - Students can't share, print, or record their screens. - Students can’t copy or paste. - Students can’t change settings, extend their display, see notifications, get updates, or use autofill features. - Cortana is turned off. > **Tip!** > To exit **Take a Test**, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. **Take a Test** is included in Windows 10 Education. To add **Take a Test** to other editions of Windows 10, see [Add the Take a Test app to Windows 10](#add-the-take-a-test-app-to-windows-10) ## How you use Take a Test ![Use test account or test url in Take a Test](images/take-a-test-flow.png) - **Use a test URL and a [dedicated testing account](#set-up-a-dedicated-test-account)** - A user logs into the account and the **Take a Test** app automatically launches the pre-configured assessment URL in Microsoft Edge in a single-app, kiosk mode. A student will never have access to the desktop in this configuration. We recommend this configuration for high stakes testing. - **[Put a test URL with an included prefix](#provide-link-to-test) on a web page or OneNote for students to click** - This allows teachers and test administrators an easier way to deploy assessments. We recommend this method for lower stakes assessments. ## Set up a dedicated test account - To configure a dedicated test account on a single PC, [use Settings](#set-up-test-account-on-a-single-pc). - To configure a dedicated test account on multiple PCs, you can use: - [Mobile device management (MDM) or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager](#set-up-test-account-in-mdm-or-configuration-manager) - [A provisioning package](#set-up-test-account-in-a-provisioning-package) created in Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD) - [Group Policy](#set-up-test-account-in-group-policy) to deploy a scheduled task that runs a Powershell script ### Set up a test account on a single PC 1.
