With assessment mode, testing apps automatically lock and configure iPad and Mac to prevent students from accessing other apps or features. After testing concludes, the device automatically returns to general use settings.  \nAssessment with Apple benefits  \nCompliant. iPad and Mac are compliant with all major assessment vendors and summative exam types, including SBAC. Both devices meet current hardware and comparability standards and can be configured to provide a secure test environment. Check with your state testing agency for their guidelines.  \nSecure. iPad and Mac can automatically lock into an assessment app for formal testing —restricting functions like Apple Intelligence, dictionary definition lookup, Auto-Correction, Messages, and other features that could disrupt the testing experience.  \nReliable. With exceptional power and performance, iPad and Mac deliver a stable and reliable testing experience.  \nEasy to deploy. With assessment mode, no separate testing setup or management is needed once the testing app is installed.  \nMulti-app assessment mode  \nWhen necessary, additional apps can be made available within the secure test experience for iPad and Mac. For example, a testing app could allow assistive apps, calculators, spreadsheet apps, and more. Talk to your testing provider about multi-app support.  \nAccessibility during testing  \nWith built-in accessibility features, iPad supports learners according to their specific needs. Accessibility features used to navigate an app’s interface, such as VoiceOver, Switch Control, Voice Control, and AssistiveTouch, are not impacted by assessment mode.  \nStudent Assessment with iPad  \nWhen a student begins a test in assessment mode, iPad will automatically lock into that single app, preventing access to other apps or features. Hardware buttons are also disabled, as well as a number of other features.  \nTestNav  \nBluebook Exams  \nDesmos Test Mode  \nSecureTestBrowser (Cambium)  \niTester  \nSafeExamBrowser  \nDRC INSIGHT  \nQuestar Student Assessments  \nERB CTP Online  \nKite Student Portal  \nNWEA Secure Testing  \nETS Online Testing  \ni-Ready Connect for Students  \nTI-Nspire  \nLockDown Browser  \nSome testing apps that use assessment mode on iPad  \nKeyboard requirements for iPad  \nThough most states allow the use of anonscreen keyboard for state testing, iPad is also compatible with a range of wireless and wired keyboards.
