- Mandatory Full Screen: It puts the user on Full Screen before starting the exam. If the user exits from full screen, the exam is terminated according to the following violation settings:
- Limiting number of violations: It counts the number of times the user has exited Full Screen, and once the limit is reached, the exam is terminated.
- Limiting the duration of each violation: If the user exits full screen, the number of seconds the system will finish the exam after will be adjusted. For example, if 15 seconds is set, the test is terminated if the user does not return to full screen mode within 15 seconds after exiting full screen.
- Limiting the total duration of all violations: if the user commits multiple violations, the exam is terminated if the total violation period exceeds the set time limit.
- Limiting the duration when selecting a file: The number of seconds the system will wait before terminating the test if the browser exits full screen while the user selects a file to answer an input question. For example, let’s say the time limit is set to 15 seconds, in this case the test is terminated if the user does not return to full screen mode by selecting a file within 15 seconds.
- Limiting the duration when asking for media permission: The number of seconds the system will wait before terminating the test if the browser exits full screen mode while asking the user for permission to use his/her webcam, microphone or screen capture.
