HSC Online Examinations

The exam uses a lockdown browser. The lockdown browser must be installed on your computer prior to the start of the exam. All applications on your computer must be closed before you start the exam.

When you click ‘Start Exam’, a window with the lockdown browser will appear. Choose ‘Open’, ‘Allow’ or ‘Yes’ to load the exam.

You must have wired headphones (no Bluetooth allowed) to listen to any audio stimulus for questions. Test and set your computer's volume control before starting the exam.

If you experience difficulties, please stay in your seat and raise your hand to ask for assistance.
