What is Safe Exam Browser (SEB)?
Features of the Safe Exam Browser

- Safe Exam Browser cannot be closed until the test is submitted.
- Switching to other applications is disabled by default, but it's possible to allow to use specific third party applications during an exam.
- Shortcut keys such as Win+Tab, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Print Screen, Cmd+Tab are disabled or cannot be used to close Safe Exam Browser or to switch to other user accounts on the computer. The possibility of taking screen shots is disabled.
- The clipboard is cleared when starting and quitting Safe Exam Browser.

What to expect using Safe Exam Browser
Safe Exam Browser supports academic integrity by temporarily removing the ability to copy or paste information from other sources, and preventing access to programs, websites, system functions, and unauthorised resources on your device.
Because Safe Exam Browser locks down your device, certain keyboard functions will be different.
Also, your video and audio would be monitored through a Zoom meeting running in the background, so the system is pretty secured. Any attempt to cheat would be spotted by a proctor.
Install Safe Exam Browser now
You should install Safe Exam Browser on your own device now and test that it's working properly. Follow the instructions to ensure you download the correct version for your device. You won’t be able to access your eExam without Safe Exam Browser.
Accessing your eExam
At least one day before your scheduled eExam, you can access your unit’s eExam file through Moodle. You’ll need to download the file to your desktop.
On exam day, double-click the eExam file you previously downloaded to your desktop and read through the rules and instructions on the landing page of your eExam. At the scheduled start time, the Start Exam button at the bottom of the landing page will turn blue – click it to begin your exam.

ReplyDeleteWhile this is true,it is risky also.
DeleteNo one knows the consequences of being caught in examination malpractices, so it is advisable not to do this, except you're a geek. There are several hacks around SEB, but the risk of being caught, especially if you're not familiar with what you're doing is high😉
The Nuclear PE Exam falls into this classification and has as of now progressed to the CBT design. Over the course of the following five years, around twelve other PE Exams will progress to the CBT design offered one day a year. https://dynamichealthstaff.com/ielts-online-coaching-india
