Is the content of my exam suitable to run using the lockdown browser?
If you are uncertain of whether your exam can be delivered using the lockdown browser, you can get advice by contacting the Digital Assessment Team at assessment-advisory@ucl.ac.uk.
The lockdown browser is not suitable for:
exams which require candidates to have access to desktop applications (e.g. RStudio, MS Excel)
exams which require candidates to have access to web-based applications that use MFA to log in (e.g. Jupyter notebook)
It may be suitable for exams which involve restricted access to specific web content, subject to testing.

...
Upload time will be factored into any exams that need it by the Central Assessments Team, so you do not need to include this when specifying the length of your exam.
What’s the difference in setup/ management for a centrally managed lockdown exam?

What if provision isn’t made for my exam?
Provision for centrally supported lockdown exams is limited for 2024/ 25. If the Central Assessments Team are unable to accommodate your exam:
You may still be able to run the exam using the lockdown browser by managing it departmentally, if resource allows for this. See the main WISEflow Lockdown Browser Guidance page for more information.
You may have to adapt your exam to an alternative format for this year in order to receive central support.
The Central Assessments Team is aiming to scale up the provision in May 2026 and you will be contacted at a later date to enable us to plan for the expected numbers. Early expressions of interest for May 2026 are also more than welcome.
