[Chromebook Tip] How to set the screen locked mode up for Quizzes using Chromebooks

You can help keep students focused while they take quizzes and tests on their Chromebooks. When students take a quiz in locked mode, they won’t be able to browse other websites or open any other apps.

About locked mode

Locked mode collects email addresses and limits quizzes to only your domain. When in locked mode:
  • Students can’t use other apps. 
  • Some extensions and keyboard shortcuts are disabled.
  • If a student exits the quiz, or opens any other tab, the teacher is notified via email.

Important: To use locked mode, you need:

Turn on locked mode
  1. In Google Forms, open a quiz.
  2. At the top, click Settings > Quizzes.
  3. Check the box next to “Turn on locked mode.”
