# Set up Take a Test on multiple PCs
|

**Applies to:**
|
||
|
||

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](#add-the-take-a-test-app-to-windows-10)
|
||
|
||
## How you use Take a Test
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- **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

||
