Exam Mode

The HP Prime can be precisely configured for an examination, with any number of features or functions disabled for a set period of time. Configuring a HP Prime for an examination is called exam mode configuration. You can create and save multiple exam mode configurations, each with its own subset of functionality disabled. You can set each configuration for its own time period, with or without a password. An exam mode configuration can be activated from an HP Prime, sent from one HP Prime to another via USB cable, or sent to one or more HP Primes via the Connectivity Kit.

Exam mode configuration will primarily be of interest to teachers, proctors, and invigilators who want to ensure that the calculator is used appropriately by students sitting for an

examination. In the illustration to the right, user-customized apps, the help system and the computer algebra system have been selected for disabling.

As part of an exam mode configuration, you can choose to activate 3 lights on the calculator that will flash periodically during exam mode. The lights are on the top edge of the calculator. The lights will help the supervisor of the examination detect if any particular calculator has dropped out of exam mode. The flashing of lights on all calculators placed in exam mode will be synchronized so that all will flash the same pattern at the same time.
