LockDown Browser opens your quiz and nothing else: no other tabs, no other apps, no copy-paste, no printing, no screenshots until you submit.
LockDown Browser alone is lockdown-only — no webcam, no recording. Webcam recording exists only when the instructor adds Respondus Monitor. The plan starts by establishing which one you face.
The browser launches the quiz from inside Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace/D2L, or Moodle. Your LMS access and a working install are the entry requirements.
The service fee is due after the agreed result posts — never before.
How Respondus Monitors the Exam
First, separate the two products, because candidates constantly merge them. LockDown Browser alone locks your machine: it opens the quiz, blocks everything else, and records nothing. Add Respondus Monitor and a webcam layer appears — your session is recorded, AI-flagged, and queued for review.
Monitor's default is automated record-and-review with no live human proctor. The instructor reviews the flagged timeline after the exam — which means nothing interrupts you during the quiz, and everything is examined afterward. Behaviors that felt invisible in the moment read clearly on a flagged timeline.
Which checks run — ID capture, room scan, audio, screen recording — varies entirely by instructor and institution. Your course's exam notice is the script, and the plan reads it precisely.
The Quiz, Step by Step
The flow starts in your LMS: you open the course, click the quiz, and LockDown Browser launches and takes over the machine. Everything else closes — chat apps, browsers, background utilities. If Monitor is enabled, the webcam sequence follows: face capture, ID photo if required, a room pan if the instructor turned it on.
During the quiz, the machine is a single-purpose device. The discipline is mostly pre-decided: notifications silenced at the OS level, updates postponed, housemates warned. The failures that happen are mundane — a calendar popup, an update prompt, a roommate walking in — and entirely preventable with the checklist.
The close matters: submit inside the quiz flow, let the browser exit itself, and confirm the upload completed before touching anything. A force-quit mid-upload is how finished quizzes become review-queue tickets.
How LockDown Browser Compares to Other Proctoring Tools
LockDown Browser alone is the lightest tool in the market: pure lockdown, no recording, no AI. With Monitor added, it becomes record-and-review — closest to Proctorio's automated model, but tied to a dedicated browser instead of a Chrome extension. It never offers a live proctor the way ProctorU's Live+ or Honorlock's pop-in model do.
The dedicated-browser design cuts both ways. It is more restrictive than an extension — your whole machine is locked — but also more predictable: no extension conflicts, no tab-management questions, no ambiguity about what is blocked.
Because institutional adoption numbers are vendor marketing rather than verified counts, what matters is the specific configuration your instructor chose — and that comes from your course, not a statistic.
How LockDown Browser Exam Help Works
Send your LockDown brief
Message us on Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord with your course and quiz name, the exam notice (so we can see whether Monitor is enabled and which checks are on), your window, and your target result.
Get an honest feasibility read
The request is reviewed privately, so you know whether the timeline, the format, and the target result are workable before anything starts. If it is not realistic, you hear that plainly at intake.
The sitting is handled
You receive a structured execution plan covering communication, readiness checks, and fallback steps. The LockDown Browser quiz sitting itself is then handled as agreed, with 1:1 coordination throughout.
Settle after the result
The service fee is due after the agreed pass or score outcome posts as agreed. That keeps the arrangement pointed at your result — and you never pay the service fee upfront.
The Five LockDown Browser Session Failures We Plan Against
Quiz-day failures on LockDown Browser are boring, mechanical, and preventable. The dedicated browser means no extension conflicts — so what breaks sessions is the machine and the household around it.
The checklist below exists because every one of these has ended a quiz attempt for someone, and none of them has anything to do with the course material.
- •The untested install: a version or OS mismatch discovered at launch time instead of a week early.
- •The background popup: OS updates, cloud sync, and calendar alerts surfacing mid-quiz.
- •The Monitor surprise: a webcam sequence the candidate did not know was enabled.
- •The household walk-in: a person or pet crossing the camera during a Monitor recording.
- •The force-quit: killing the browser before the submission upload finishes.
Browser-Only or Monitor: The Two Versions at a Glance
Your exam notice says which version you face. This is the difference that decides what your session involves.
| LockDown Browser only | LockDown Browser + Monitor | |
|---|---|---|
| Machine lockdown | Yes — tabs, apps, copy-paste blocked | Yes — same lockdown |
| Webcam recording | No | Yes — recorded and AI-flagged |
| Room scan / ID | No | If the instructor enabled them |
| Review | Nothing to review | Instructor reviews the flagged timeline afterward |

Browser-only versus Monitor, and which checks your instructor enabled — identified from your exam notice before the window.
Specialist matching
LockDown Browser requests are routed by course subject, configuration, time pressure, and required outcome — the plan fits your sitting, not a generic template.
Install and compatibility clearance
LockDown Browser installed, updated, and test-launched against your OS in advance — the most common quiz-day failure, defused early.
Machine quarantine plan
Notifications, updates, background apps, and cloud-sync prompts silenced at the OS level so nothing pops mid-quiz.
Monitor-sequence walkthrough
Face capture, ID photo, room pan — the webcam steps practiced when Monitor is enabled, so none of them surprise you.
Private 1:1 coordination
One coordinator on Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord. No shared dashboards, no group chats, no public record.
Is This Safe, and How Discretion Works
Discretion is the product. Your exam details, target, and result stay inside a private channel you control; nothing is published, referenced, or reused — no case studies, no screenshots, ever. We never ask for your LMS or portal login, and the thread is deletable by you at any point.
What we control is the quality and privacy of the engagement: an honest feasibility answer before anything starts, a structured execution plan, and a fee that follows the result. If your situation makes the service a bad fit, we say so at intake — not after.
- •We never ask for your LMS or portal login — access stays with you.
- •Coordination is 1:1 on Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord, deletable by you at any point.
- •No case studies, no screenshots, no references to your course or result — ever.
- •If the timeline or setup makes the target unworkable, we say so at intake — not after.
Pay After You Pass
The service fee is due after the agreed result posts — never before. That is the entire model.
We do not promise a specific score; we promise the fee follows the result, never precedes it. Settlement is flexible and private, confirmed with you through the same channel you already use.
Candidate Feedback
I assumed the webcam was on because the browser was locked. They showed me my course ran browser-only — no Monitor — which changed what the exam session actually required.
A forced OS update killed my first practice launch. The quarantine checklist — updates, notifications, sync — made the real quiz uneventful.
The install test-launch a week early caught a version mismatch with my campus image. Fixed Tuesday, boring on the Friday quiz.
