Take a Test app

Has anyone worked with the Take a Test app yet? I like the idea of this, but have yet to work out some details. I've created a quiz in Forms, but cannot find the checkbox to create the link in "lockdo...

    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.

      Hi,

      Firstly I have been trying to use Take a Test with an MS Forms Quiz with my students.  I thought I had used the secure link generator, but when I shared the URL it didn't work and my students went to the MS Forms page as usual i.e. not locked down.

       

      https://takeatest.blob.core.windows.net/takeatest-link-generator/testpage.html

       

      Is the above not the correct way to do this? It locked down my computer when I tested it out.

       

      Secondly, should I have created individual secure links for each of my students or should it be possible to share one with the class?

       

      We are in COVID lockdown in the UK and it would be a really useful way to make assessments a bit more of a test of their knowledge and not their Googling skills. Thanks

      Andy,

      Any updates on when this functionality will be released? It is frustrating to read a set of directions on a Microsoft page that do not line up with what I actually see in my environment. I want to be able to trigger Take-A-Test from forms automatically. Thanks!

      Users keep getting adfs errors when trying to launch a Microsoft Form delivered through Microsoft's Take a Test app. Have there been any new developments on this front?
