Take tests in Windows 10

Applies to:

• Windows 10

Many schools use online testing for formative and summative assessments. 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:

• Take a Test shows just the test and nothing else.
• Take a Test clears the clipboard.
• 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 change settings, extend their display, see notifications, get updates, or use autofill features.
• Cortana is turned off.

How you use Take a Test

• Use a test URL and a dedicated testing account - A user signs in to the account and the Take a Test app automatically launches the pre-configured assessment URL 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 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.
