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.
