"Locking" Forms Quiz to prevent cheating

Hello,

 

We would like to be able to prevent students from exiting a quiz on Forms to prevent cheating. Google has a feature that allows it, but not Forms. What we would need is to "lock" the quiz. Exiting (alt-tab or other method) would stop the quiz at that point and prevent going back in. 

 

We want to be able to have students write online exams, but without this feature, students can cheat much too easily. Is there a way to do this? If not, could this be added? 

 

 

Thanks

    I know this is an old post but I had the same question. I guess the way around this is to uncheck "Share results automatically after voting," so that those taking the quiz can't see the popular answers and then just close the quiz after a few minutes.

    Hi Daniel-FSL,

    Apparently is not so easy as google form so far, this is the only thing that I found, however I didn't use it so far.

      The above works great, however, this year I am at a school with MacBook Pro's. Any suggestions how to secure a MS Form test / assessment when sending to students with a Mac. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
