There is a very simple process to help ensure test takers are ready to use Honorlock. Within the Honorlock LTI, you can create a Practice Exam for test takers to get acclimated with the system and ensure they are prepared for their higher-stakes exams.
How to Create a Practice Exam
1) Navigate to Honorlock in your Learning Management System.
2) Locate and click the three white vertical dots, located at the top right.
3) Click Add Practice Exam. Alternatively, you can download the Honorlock Practice Test upload file directly from this link. Please note that the exported file will be saved as a .zip file. It is important to save the exported file to your computer or know how to access it via the Downloads directory within your browser later on.
4) Next, the prompt below will appear. Click Download to access the file.
5) With the file downloaded, navigate to the menu located on the left-hand side of your Blackboard course. Locate Course Management and select Course Tools. Once completed, select Tests, Surveys, and Pools.
6) Select Tests and click Import Test to import the .zip file you previously downloaded.
7) Once the import process is completed, navigate to the menu located on the left-hand side of your Blackboard course and select Content. Then, select Assessments, followed by Test to create the exam. Within the Add an Existing Test list, you will see the Honorlock Practice Test available. Select Honorlock Practice Test and click Submit.
8) Now that you have successfully created the Practice Exam by utilizing the import file, it is time to enable the exam with Honorlock. From the Test Options page, proceed to select Click to Enable.
9) Proceed to customize your Honorlock exam settings by enabling the presented toggles. 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.
10) Make sure to click the Enable button to finalize and save your exam settings. Your practice exam is now enabled with Honorlock and ready to be administered.
