About SecureClient
Surpass SecureClient is a standalone test delivery app with offline test support and built-in protections against internet and device failure. If internet connection is lost, finished tests are uploaded to Surpass from SecureClient once internet connection is restored.
SecureClient also features lockdown capabilities that prevent candidates from leaving the test session.
