10) Click on Save again from the Assignment Settings page. You will now be redirected to the Honorlock page to select the proctoring settings. Set up your proctoring options for the practice exam. It is recommended that you configure your practice exam to have the same proctoring options as your real exam to ensure test takers are familiar with the security settings and exam authentication process. Note: You could always edit these same settings by going to the Honorlock page and clicking on settings next to the exam you want to proctor.
