Lockdown Exam

Secure digital exams, on any device.

A locked-down browser engineered for the moment that decides a credential. Block what shouldn't be open, work even when the Wi-Fi drops, and hand examiners the audit-grade evidence behind every score.

Why a locked-down browser

A score is only as credible as the room it was earned in.

Lockdown is the quiet infrastructure underneath the result. When it works, no one notices. When it fails, the credential does too.

  • Pen-and-paper exams cannot keep pace with the formats students are tested on.
  • Generic browsers leave too many doors open, tabs, extensions, AI assistants, screen capture.
  • Programs need a single secure surface for classrooms, labs, remote candidates, and certification sites.
  • Examiners need evidence, not guesswork, when a result is challenged.
What Lockdown does

Four guarantees,
on every exam.

One installable client. Windows, macOS, iPad, and managed Chromebooks. The same exam runs in a lecture hall, a hospital training site, or a candidate's living room.

01

Seal the device

Disable browser tabs, screenshots, screen sharing, virtual machines, second monitors, and clipboard access for the duration of the exam.

02

Silence the assistants

Block generative AI tools, copilots, and OS-level dictation, including local models and browser extensions injected at runtime.

03

Survive the network

Candidates keep writing through Wi-Fi drops; responses are encrypted locally and uploaded automatically the moment a connection returns.

04

Score with evidence

Per-item analytics, response timing, and difficulty curves give faculty defensible data to grade, regrade, and improve the next exam.

From blueprint to score

One workflow, four touch-points.

  1. Step 01

    Author once

    Build items in Merituss Studio, mix MCQs with essays, code, anatomy tagging, and case-based stems. Reuse across cohorts and seasons.

  2. Step 02

    Schedule and seal

    Define windows, accommodations, and proctoring mode. Lockdown packages the exam with offline resilience baked in.

  3. Step 03

    Run the room

    Candidates launch the locked-down client; invigilators see live status across every seat from a single console.

  4. Step 04

    Score and learn

    Marker pulls the exam straight into the grading workspace; psychometrics flag flawed items before the next administration.

Four modes, one platform.

The exam should fit the program, not the other way around. Lockdown supports every delivery model your registrar will throw at it.

Mode

On-site

Run a 600-seat hall on local Wi-Fi, or a small lab on cellular. Auto-recovery handles dropped sessions without restarting the exam.

Mode

Remote, live-proctored

Trained proctors monitor camera, screen, and audio in real time. Lockdown handles identity verification and room scans automatically.

Mode

Remote, AI-reviewed

Sessions are recorded and flagged by anomaly. Faculty review only the moments that matter, with timestamped evidence.

Mode

Hybrid cohorts

Same exam, same scoring rules, whether a candidate sits in the room or at home. No second draft of the assessment required.

Pilot in one term

Higher Ed

From midterms to finals, deliver secure assessment across schools, campuses, and joint programs from one console.

Engineered for the worst day

Holds up when finals week doesn't.

Lockdown is built for the failure modes that ruin an exam day, dropped Wi-Fi, dead batteries, swapped devices, surprise fire alarms. Sessions resume where they ended, with cryptographic proof of integrity.

We moved a 1,200-candidate licensure exam onto Lockdown in a single term. Wi-Fi dropped twice during the morning sitting, and not a single response was lost.
