Exam Assignments

Use the following procedure to take an exam.

Note Before you start an exam, close all applications except your browser. Then, close any additional browser windows or tabs unless otherwise indicated by your instructor. This helps ensure that the SAM Content Player performance is not affected. This is especially important if you take a timed exam.
