What is Respondus LockDown Browser?
As the name suggests, Respondus LockDown Browser “locks you down.” It restricts your ability to open other tabs or search online until the exam ends.
Before the exam starts, LockDown Browser:
- Closes unnecessary applications
- Shuts down remote access software like RemotePC
- Blocks all “red list” programs before the exam even begins
During verification, a webcam activates and focuses on your face to monitor movements. Once verification is complete and the environment is secure, the exam launches.
Method 1: Technical Expert Help
This is considered the most secure method to bypass Respondus LockDown Browser.
- It’s a paid method but regarded as reliable and effective.
- A custom software is installed on the student’s device.
- The software is designed to be undetectable by Respondus.
- It cannot be shut down when Respondus closes other applications.
This setup allows a technical expert to remotely access the device and assist in real time. While the student pretends to take the exam, the expert selects the answers.
Why is this more secure?
- Common remote access tools are on Respondus’s red list → instantly closed.
- Custom software is designed specifically to bypass Respondus, so it remains hidden.
If you’re looking for expert help, services like this often advertise themselves as not requiring upfront payment.
Method 2: Traditional Cheating Tricks
While not as secure, people still attempt these traditional cheating methods. Effectiveness is not guaranteed, and there’s risk of being flagged.
1. Alt + Tab Technique
- Use Alt + Tab to switch windows.
- Spam left/right Alt keys to move between exam and outside resources (Google, documents, notes).
- Can be used to copy and paste answers into free response fields.
- Not always reliable since Respondus updates regularly.
2. Using Another Device (Phone/Computer)
- Place your phone below the screen.
- Use an OTG connector to attach a Bluetooth or wireless mouse.
- This lets you browse your phone discreetly while appearing focused on the exam.
- Hand movements look natural, lowering suspicion.
3. Virtual Desktops (Desktops.exe)
- Windows tool that creates up to four separate desktops.
- Each desktop runs different apps.
- Switch between desktops with hotkeys.
- Start Desktops.exe before launching Respondus.
- Lets you separate exam window and resources across desktops.
