Test Taker is an app that allows students to securely take a test through one of the supported testing services. When you log in to Test Taker, the iPad enters Single App Mode which prevents the student from leaving the app, prevents access to the clipboard, prevents notifications from appearing and prevents screenshotting. The student may not leave the app until they submit their test and end their session. Once the student has done this, they will be able to leave the app. If you are a school that would like to take advantage of this app, please contact the Director of Technology at PTSC for information on how to get it working for your students.
Verdict
