Can I use wifi while using the Lockdown Browser to take a test?

← Back to EIU Services

We strongly recommend using an Ethernet (wired) Internet connection while taking your exam in Lockdown Browser. If you lose your internet connection during the exam, it will lock up the browser and not allow you to save answers, move on to other questions, submit or exit the exam. Issues may arise if you use wireless, USB modem, laptop connect card, or mobile hotspot connection during an exam, you are more likely to run into problems due to dropped/interrupted connection.
