Starting an Exam

Step 1: Get the Access Code

Your teacher will provide an 8-character alphanumeric code (e.g., AB12CD34).

Step 2: Go to the Exam Entry Page

1. Open your regular web browser
2. Go to the exam entry URL for your institution:

https://<domain>/<institute>/exam-entry/

Your teacher will provide the full URL.

Step 3: Enter the Access Code

1. Type the 8-character code in uppercase
2. Click Submit

If you enter the wrong code multiple times, you may be asked to solve a simple math challenge.

Step 4: Authenticate

For built-in EMS exams: 1. You will be redirected to your institution's SSO login page 2. Log in with your institutional credentials 3. You will be redirected back to the exam entry page

Step 5: Download and Open SEB

1. After successful authentication, a SEB configuration file (.seb) will be downloaded
2. Open the .seb file — Safe Exam Browser will launch automatically
3. SEB loads the exam in a secure, locked-down browser environment

Step 6: Start the Exam

• The exam interface loads automatically in SEB
• If the exam has Strict Time enabled, you can only access it during the scheduled window
• Your session starts when you first view a question
