Availability

Sets the SecureClient delivery mode. Choose from the following two options:

• Unlocked allows candidates to minimise SecureClient and browse their device and/or the internet freely.

• Locked prevents candidates leaving SecureClient during the test.

Restrict to SecureClient

Restricts test delivery to SecureClient. This means that the test cannot be delivered using web delivery.

BYOD Mode

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) refers to when candidates are allowed to take tests at a test centre on their personal machines rather than devices provided by the awarding organisation or test centre.

Secure Browser Mode

Web delivery tests with secure browser mode enabled are delivered in a kiosk mode that prevents candidates from accessing any other files or applications during a test. Any test content that may require an external application to open, for example source material, is not compatible with secure browser mode.

Determines the type of invigilation for candidates. Choose one of the following options:

• Standard – Candidates can enter their test using only a keycode. If selected, Test Administration users can change this setting at the point of scheduling.

• PIN – Candidates must enter their test using a keycode and start their test using a PIN code.

• Manual – Candidates can enter their test using a keycode and must then wait for an invigilator to manually unlock their test from the Invigilate screen of Test Administration.

Determines the test delivery options available to Test Administration users. Choose one of the following options:

• Same test forms – If a test has multiple test forms, candidates receive the same test form. If the test form has dynamic sections, the rules are run once to create a static test form that is delivered to all candidates. 

• Different test forms – If a test has multiple test forms, candidates receive different test forms. If a given test form has dynamic sections, the rules are run as many times as necessary to create a unique test form for each candidate.

• Choose when scheduling – Allows Test Administration users to decide whether to deliver the same test or different tests at the point of scheduling.

Distributes test forms in a random order to candidates if there is more than one form of the same test.
