You may now take this test from home vs going into the ACC testing center. You still need to utilize a LockDown Browser

 

LockDown Browser Requirement


This course requires the use of LockDown Browser for online exams. Watch this video to get a basic understanding of LockDown Browser:

 

https://www.respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/student-movie.shtml

 

Download Instructions
Download and install LockDown Browser from this link:

 

https://download.respondus.com/lockdown/download.php?id=999134577

 

Once Installed

  • Start LockDown Browser
  • Log into Blackboard Learn
  • Navigate to the test

 

Note: You won't be able to access tests with a standard web browser. If this is tried, an error message will indicate that the test requires the use of LockDown Browser. Simply start LockDown Browser and navigate back to the exam to continue.

 

Guidelines
When taking an online test, follow these guidelines:

  • [If testing is to occur at a designated location, such as a testing center, add those instructions here.]
  • [If applicable] Select a location where you won't be interrupted
  • Before starting the test, know how much time is available for it, and also 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

 

Getting Help
Several resources are available if you encounter problems with LockDown Browser:

  • The Windows and Mac versions of LockDown Browser have a "Help Center" button located on the toolbar. Use the "System & Network Check" to troubleshoot issues. If an exam requires you to use a webcam, also run the "Webcam Check" from this area
  • [As applicable, insert information about your institution's help desk, including details about how to contact them. Some help desks want students to run the "System & Network Check" and the "Webcam Check" before they are contacted - and even, to forward the results of these checks at the time of opening a ticket.]
  • Respondus has a Knowledge Base available from support.respondus.com. Select the "Knowledge Base" link and then select "Respondus LockDown Browser" as the product. If your problem is with a webcam, select "Respondus Monitor" as your product
  • If you're still unable to resolve a technical issue with LockDown Browser, go to support.respondus.com and select "Submit a Ticket". Provide detailed information about your problem and what steps you took to resolve it

 

If the ACC Testing Center Opens up, you can take the test at a ACC Testing Center. Students are allowed to bring up to 3 pages of notes to take the test. This exam will be based off the Chapter Quizzes from Blackboard, so use them as reference & study material. Based on the length of the test, you should plan on arriving at a minimum of 2 hours before the testing center closes. You can not leave the testing center without finishing the test.
