User Reviews

  • Safe Exam Browser (SEB) is a free, open-source web browser designed to create a secure environment for online exams by restricting access to unauthorized resources, disabling system shortcuts, and allowing only pre-approved websites or applications. It's highly customizable and integrates well with platforms like Moodle, making it a popular choice for educational institutions aiming to maintain academic integrity. However, SEB can be challenging for first-time users due to its somewhat clunky interface and pre-exam setup requirements. It’s also limited by occasional technical glitches and a lack of mobile support, which can hinder flexibility in certain testing environments. Overall, SEB is a solid tool for secure assessments, especially in controlled academic settings, but could benefit from usability improvements and broader compatibility.
  • It is a generally good program. But if you have a custom pointer from your mouse, Safe Exam Browser might not work, it was a bad experience finding this out.
  • Its a nice project, my friend sergi likes to, only problem is pesing a lot, big space, tus!
  • I can download on my android
  • Please provide us a option of wifi connectivity while giving test with this browser if somehow internet broke in the middle of the exam the browser crash then and I can't continue with the exam. And I have to then log out from it and then go to the company's website for re login and again give the test but then it is not possible to do the test and it not shows the option of launch safe exam browser. Please update this browser as it shows the option for wifi connection.
