TAKING AN ASSESSMENT

1. Close all programs, unless one is used to connect to the Internet.
2. Locate the "LockDown Browser" shortcut on the desktop (or from the Start menu) and double-click it for Windows users, or for Macintosh users, launch "LockDown Browser" from the Applications folder.
3. If prompted to close a blocked program (e.g. instant messaging), choose Yes. If you do not close the blocked program, Respondus LockDown Browser will close. If you are prompted to close another application, but that application is not running, try restarting your computer and then run the Respondus LockDown Browser.
4. After the program starts, select the version of SacCT your instructor is using.
5. Login to SacCT or SacCT 9.1.
6. Go to your course and navigate to the assessment or test.
7. Read the instructions and click Begin Assessment or Begin (SacCT 9.1).  If the Begin Assessment / Begin button is disabled, it means you are not running Respondus LockDown Browser – return to step 1 above.
8. Once an assessment is started, you cannot exit until the Finish button is clicked.

NOTE: Before you start using the Respondus LockDown Browser, please read the information at the Troubleshooting page.
