4. Once the setup is complete, you should be directed to your institution's logon page. Log in with the correct credentials, navigate to your course and quiz, and begin your exam. (Some Learning Management Systems require you first log on via a standard browser, then launch LockDown Browser from your quiz page.)
5. When you start a quiz that requires LockDown Browser, you should see the following message. You must click "Yes" to open the LockDown Browser app.
   
   
   If you do not see the above confirmation message, but rather see a message that says your instructor has not enabled the use of a tablet for your exam, please contact your instructor so that they can adjust the Respondus LockDown Browser settings for the exam (see above directions).
6. Once you click "Yes" to confirm "app self-lock,", you will see a message confirming that your iPad is now locked to LockDown Browser.
   
    
7. You can now either take another exam, or exit the LockDown Browser app.
