I found out there's a function on iOS called "automatic assessment configuration". It does exactly what I need it to do: locks students taking a test INTO the test, and makes them unable to open other apps, turns off auto-correct features, etc. on their iPads.

However, it seems like, to use this function, it has to be built into the software you're using.

My question is: does Safari have this framework enabled? Does Chrome?

You would think it's easy to find the answers to these questions! But no.

It looks like AAC is only supported by apps that explicitly embed it (e.g., Schoolwork, ExamSoft, Pearson TestNav). Doesn't seem like something accessible through a browser, it's got to be its own app built for that purpose.

Everything else I see says to manually turn on Guided Access on the device to turn off whatever features you don't want them accessing, but it's probably not as robust.

• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access and turn it on.
• Set a passcode to prevent students from exiting.
• Open the testing app and triple-click the Home or Power button to start Guided Access.
• Use Options to disable the keyboard, touch, or other features.
• End Guided Access with the passcode when the test is done.

Thanks, but this option isn't feasible since it's the students' ipads :/

The most profitable company in the world is also too cheap to spring for test security software, so I guess they can just cheat <8- )

In Nyköping (where I live and work), students at municipal schools get/borrow Chromebooks from year 4.

When they do digital tests on the computers, we use something called Exam.net which works in a similar way. They get an access code from the teacher and "log in" into the test. If they leave the test tab or open a new tab, they get booted and have to request new access.

We have different testing software for different parts of the company. One part uses software like this, but the part I deal with doesn't, and for some dumb bureaucratic reasons they refuse to pay for test security.
