With Additional Resources, web pages, and websites can be accessed securely and easily during closed-book exams. The same resources are also available for candidates exempted from lockdown browsers during exams. A network filter checks requests so that candidates are not able to navigate away from the page specified. All links, except links to subpages, are blocked.

This feature will block URLs only. There is a possibility that the accessed URL can run javascript or other scripts that may result in access to local computer resources.
We recommend testing of whitelisted URLs in tests before the exam starts. 

How to:

To make a web page available across the whole test you can add it as a resource to the question set.

  1. Click on "Show resources"
  2. Click on "Add resource" and choose URL

3 is the already added resources. 

Add the URL to the resource you want to make available for the candidates.


Custom root URL: This can be added if you want the candidates to have access to all child pages of the specified URL.

In SEB - Additional resources are listed in a footer below the navigation bar. This allows the candidate to switch between the test and the additional resources. Preview the question set to see what the candidate will see. When the candidate clicks on the resource link, the added resource will open.

In open browsers - Additional resources are opened in new tabs, and the candidate can switch between tabs normally.
