Finally, when taking an online exam, follow these guidelines:

Select a location where you won't be interrupted
Before starting the test, know how much time is available for it, and that you've allotted sufficient time to complete it
Turn off all mobile devices, phones, etc. and don't have them within reach
Clear your area of all external materials — books, papers, other computers, or devices
Remain at your desk or workstation for the duration of the test
LockDown Browser will prevent you from accessing other websites or applications; you will be unable to exit the test until all questions are completed and submitted
