These are the system requirements for an at-home TEAS at ATI exam.
ATI will utilize the Respondus LockDown Browser for all TEAS at ATI Exams. Respondus is a locked browser used when taking ATI proctored assessments. It prevents you from copying, printing, visiting another URL, or accessing other applications during a test. If an ATI test requires the LockDown Browser to be used, you will not be able to take the test with a standard web browser. Your exam will be recorded and accessed if there is a reason to believe the test protocol has been breached.
