To prevent test-taking problems

• Make sure to access Blackboard directly from Bb Home, http://bb.wpunj.edu
• You are using a supported browser (Internet Explorer 6 or higher or Firefox 2 or higher) and
• Are not using Safari or AOL browsers, and
• That you are not running any popup-blocking or JavaScript-blocking software or toolbars. These include such programs as the toolbars from Yahoo, Google, MSN, Optimum Online, et al., along with such security software as McAfee Security Center and others. The latest versions of Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox, furthermore, contain their own built-in popup-blockers. So if you have any such software, you will need to either temporarily disable any such popup and/or JavaScript blocking or make sure that wpunj.edu is added to the list of sites that they are allowed for/from.

What should I do if an online test fails while I’m taking it?
Only faculty can unlock a locked test, assuming that s/he thinks that action is appropriate.  You should contact your instructor and ask him or her to unlock the test.  Instructors have various policies concerning online test-taking, and it is in your interest to find out what they are before you take the test.
