I really hope this situation does not happen during the actual test and ruin my chances of passing.This article contains information for downloading, installing, and configuring Respondus Lockdown browser on Microsoft Windows. I partially blame this on college board as well since I get kicked off of practice test all the time. I had to ultimately email my teacher so I don’t get points take away for not completing this assignment. While I was able to access my other applications now, it still didn’t allow me to finish my practice exam. I had to fully shut down the IPad to exit out of the frozen screen. I spent 20 minutes stressing out because I had other assignments I had to work on.
I also couldn’t use the home button or the power button either, so I was stuck on the sign in screen. It at first didn’t bother me since I usually get kicked out of practice test on the college board site, however, because I had the LockDown browser open, I was not able to login again. While I was taking a practice exam(I was on question 43 out of 60), I was randomly kicked out of it and brought back to the sign in screen. Screw this app and its Neanderthal developers.īecause of distance learning, college Board requires AP students to download this app for the exams. The quiz was an easy 10 questions long and would have taken me no more than 10 minutes to complete. And here I am, a straight A student getting the first B in my college career all because of an embarrassing excuse of a mobile test proctoring application. The former would even be preferred at this point. I might as well have just gone to a public bathroom and flipped through pages of an STD textbook for 2 hours instead of going through the immeasurable suffering that was trying to make this app work. Considering most professors in this online day and age don’t trust students when test taking at home, they didn’t buy that this garbage app was the culprit and not my iPad or WiFi which has never had any problems to date. I started logging into canvas to take a 30 minute quiz just so the app would freeze and crash over a dozen times, effectively taking more time than the quiz allowed for, granting me a 0 on it. This is the first app review I’ve ever made and I’ll just start off by saying that using lockdown browser was the absolute worst test taking experience I have ever had.
