Password Test Security
• Password tests prevent cheating by detecting access to anything outside
of the test, including “pop ups”. Such access is judged to be an attempt to
cheat and the test is interrupted.
• Tests run in “full screen” mode, so access to anything outside of the test
can only happen if “special” keys are pressed (including "Win" ( or ),
"Ctrl" ( ), "Alt" ( ) & function keys). Do not do this!
• You only need the keyboard to enter your candidate details at the
beginning of the test, and during the Writing test if there is one. ONLY use
keyboard letters, numbers & symbols.
• If you press these special keys you risk having your test interrupted.

Password Test Security
• If the test is interrupted the following screen will appear:
• If this happens you can click on the continue button and restart the test,
though some test time may be lost. Most answers will have been saved
but answers to questions in the section being worked on at the time the
test was interrupted may need to be re-entered, and also the most recent
parts of an essay.
• If the test is interrupted again alert the invigilator as there may be a
problem with the set up of the test PC.
