🛑 Important: This exam requires Respondus Lockdown Browser and a webcam. You must first open the Respondus Lockdown Browser Application, log in to Canvas, and then navigate to your exam in order to proceed.

This is an ungraded practice test that allows you to get used to both the online testing format and using Respondus Lockdown Browser (Respondus) with a webcam before attempting a graded assignment. You can take this test as many times as necessary to become comfortable with the process.

💡 Tip: It's also useful to complete again if you happen to use a different computer or network from one exam to the next by allowing you to see if there are any problems running Respondus and/or the webcam on the new computer and/or network.
