# 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.
