Set up Take a Test on multiple PCs

Applies to:

• Windows 10 Insider Preview

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:

• 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

How you use Take a Test

• Use a test URL and a dedicated testing 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 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.
• To configure a dedicated test account on multiple PCs, you can use:
  • Mobile device management (MDM) or Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
  • A provisioning package created in Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD)
  • Group Policy to deploy a scheduled task that runs a Powershell script

   Note

   : If you don't have an account on the device, you can create a new account. To do this, go to Settings > Accounts > Other Users > Add someone else to this PC > I don’t have this person’s sign-in information > Add a user without a Microsoft account.
