Warning for MacOS users
If your laptop is shutdown while working in SEB, it may lock the account.
Create an account especially for SEB and run it in that account only.


Install Safe Exam Browser (SEB)
  1. On your laptop, install Safe Exam Browser from the SEBIcon_40_2x.png SEB Download page, or as follows:
    • On Windows: Opening Safe Exam Browser from the Applications menu will start SEB with the default configuration.
    • On MacOS:
      • Download Safe Exam Browser for MacOS
      • Create a new account for working in SEB and change to it
      • Click on the downloaded file and move it to the Applications folder
      Clicking on Safe Exam Browser in the Applications folder will start SEB with the default configuration.
    However, you will need to start SEB with the HUJI configuration. So...
  2. Install the HUJIhujiSEB configuration file as follows:


Launch Safe Exam Browser Double click on the HUJI SEB configuration file, SEBhuji.seb, to start SEB with the HUJI configuration.
A popup will open:
New settings have been saved,
they will be used when you start SEB next time again.
Do you want to start working with SEB or quit for now?
Click on Quit to ensure that also when you start SEB from Applications, it will use the HUJI configuration
Click on No if you want to start SEB from this file. (The same popup will open each time you start SEB from this file.)


Connect to the exams-test network
  • Ensure that your laptop is connected to the correct wireless network for the exam that you will be taking.
    Unless your teacher has said otherwise, your exam will be on the exams-test network.
    Authentication to the exams-test network is with username moodle_exams and password exams_moodle
    Note: Only EXAM Moodle is accessible from the exams-test network.


Check that it works
  1. Set up your demo exam as follows::

    2. Authenticate

  2. Now, begin the demo exam as follows:
    1. On your laptop, double click on the HUJI SEB file
    2. Authenticate to EXAM Moodle
    If you correctly installed SEB and the SEB file
    (and are connected to the exams-test network if you chose the first of the previous two links),
    you will be redirected to the demo exam
After completing the exam, exit SEB by clicking on the Quit SEB button at bottom right of the login window.
