How do I add a password to a test?
A password can be used on a Blackboard test for different reasons:
You add a password because you want some students to take the assessment before others. You can release the password only to the first group of students. The students who take the assessment later can't preview the assessment before they take it.
You can add a password for a supervised or proctored assessment. Students show proof of identity, receive the password from the instructor or proctor, and take the assessment in the classroom.
You cannot customize the password in the Test Options when using Respondus Lockdown Browser.
