Use the secure browser
Install and test Safe Exam Browser before the test.
Some tests you must take in Safe Exam Browser (SEB). It locks your computer to the test, so you cannot use other websites or programs while you write. You can tell a test uses it when it says Secure browser on the test.
You need a Mac or a Windows computer. Tablets and phones do not work.
Do this before the test day
Install and test Safe Exam Browser well in advance, so you avoid problems when the test starts.
Install Safe Exam Browser
Open the installation guide
Go to Installation guide for Safe Exam Browser(opens in a new tab). You also find it via the link to the instructions on the test.
