    Hi folks. I'm the PM for Take a Test and I work with the Forms team on the checkbox everyone is mentioning here. Currently, the checkbox is not fully released to the general public and only enabled for a select few tenants. If you are interested in trying the feature out and providing feedback, please send me a message with your tenant name (e.g user@contoso.org). I'd love to pick your brain to see how we can improve the experience before we release it to everyone.

You can use this link.

 

ms-edu-secureassessment:<URL>!enforceLockdown

 

When you replace <URL> for the url to the Form .

 

A student can click on the link or you can make a shortcut to the link and the computer will go to the take a test

Maurits, you are correct, that does work, but I'm trying to make this as easy as possible for our teachers and having to add that to every URL is going to be a barrier to adoption. I read in the Technet article that there was a checkbox to enable this when sharing the form, but I don't see any kind of check box during the share process. That would be ideal - if Forms can automatically append the URL to open it in Test Mode.

    John,

     

    I have read the same thing and now I understand your question. This new for me. The last time I read this blog this part wasn't there. So maybe there will soon  be an update in forms to show us the secure checkbox.
