Respondus Lockdown Browser is a secure browser for taking tests.  It prevents students from printing, copying, accessing another program or URL during a test. If the test requires the use of Respondus LockDown Browser, the student will be unable to take the test in a standard web browser. The students will have to install Respondus LockDown Browser on their computer.
