Instructions for students taking a HEIghten® assessment on Territorium's LifeJourney platform either without a proctor or in a campus setting with a proctor from your institution.
Please read through this entire document before beginning the assessment.
BEFORE YOU START
- It will take about 45 minutes to an hour to finish your assessment. Ensure that you can allocate enough time to work without interruptions. Once you start, you must finish it. There is a timer located within your test window at all times. You will receive a 5-minute warning near the end of your exam time allotment.
- If you exit prior to completing the test, your test time will continue to countdown. If you later attempt to re-enter the test, your time may have expired.
- Use the recommended browser and operating system - see ASSESSMENT SERVICES RECOMMENDED ENVIRONMENT for more details. Make sure any updates are installed on your computer before you start. At this time, the lockdown browser is NOT supported for Chromebooks or iPads.
- If you need a calculator, you must use the one provided with the test on your Lockdown Browser screen. You are not allowed to use other devices such as phones, smart watches, or calculators.
- If you get unexpectedly disconnected and still have time left on your exam, you may log back in (see below). If the test timer has run out, you will not be able to go back into the test - contact your administrator for possible options about returning to your test.
- E-mail support@territorium.com for technical support. This inbox is monitored by the entire support team.
