Take a Test is a browser-based UWP app that renders locked-down online assessments for high-stakes testing, allowing educators to focus on the assessment content rather than how to provide a secure testing environment. To achieve this, it uses a JavaScript API that any web application can utilize. The Take-a-test API supports the SBAC browser API standard for high stakes common core testing.
See the Take a Test app technical reference for more information about the app itself. For troubleshooting help, see Troubleshoot Microsoft Take a Test with the event viewer.
