Instructions for students taking the E-Proficiency Profile assessment on Territorium's LifeJourney platform with either no proctor or in a campus setting with a proctor from your institution.
Please read through this entire document before beginning the assessment. Additionally, this video provides an overview of accessing your exam on LifeJourney.
BEFORE YOU START
- Abbreviated form testing time is approximately 45 minutes. The standard form is administered in 2 one-hour sections. 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.
- Ensure that you can allocate enough time to work without interruptions. Once you start, you must finish. If you exit prior to completing the test, your test time will continue to count down. 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 are unexpectedly disconnected during the allotted test time window, you will need to 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.
GETTING STARTED

https://life.territorium.com
You MUST use this URL to access your exam.

TAKING THE TEST
- If your institution has opted to require your Student ID, you will be prompted to enter it EXACTLY as you entered your Student ID at account creation on LifeJourney before the test will launch. If you cannot remember your Student ID or entered it incorrectly at account creation, please ask your test administrator to contact success@territorium.com for assistance updating that information.
- Once you start, review the instructions that appear on the following page. Instructions may change depending on the test you’re taking.
- Use of the Lockdown Browser is required for all exam administrations. If you are in a campus lab, your lockdown browser is likely already installed and you will not see instructions to download/install it. If you are testing on your own device, you must install the lockdown browser to proceed. Click on the link that suits your computer's operating system and language: Download for Windows, Download for Mac or Chromebook Extension.

- Click Open LockDown Browser OEM
- You will need to select Yes to allow the app to make changes to your device and Close Process for each of the open application prompts.
- While you are being prompted to close your open processes, the system will be on a Welcome screen. Once you click Start, you will be presented with the first test question and the countdown timer will begin.
- Choose your answers and navigate through the test using the Previous and Next buttons at the bottom of the screen.
- Each of the questions is represented across the bottom. As questions are answered they are struck through. Use the Highlight button to mark questions for review.
- In the right-hand corner, there is a countdown time for this section and a start and end time based on when you started this section.
- Screen magnification is available by selecting Ctrl + +.
- Before selecting Submit and continue, review that all questions you intended to answer have been completed.
