Setting up Guided Access on the iPad for the NCTest app

Guided Access is a feature that restricts use to a single app. Exit from an app under Guided Access requires entry of the code used to place the iPad into Guided Access. Use of Guided Access gives LEAs/Schools the ability toprevent accidental exit from assessments by touching the "home" button and also makes meeting security requirements easier. LEAs and schools must research this option to determine if it is appropriate.

Tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access to set up Guided Access.

• Turn Guided Access on
• Set a passcode to control the use of Guided Access and prevent someone from leaving an active session

Start a Guided Access session (for the first time on each iPad) - this could be on the first day of testing or before.

• Open the NCTest App
• Triple-click the Home button.

Guided Access app controls

To change the options after the initial Guided Access setup: triple-click the Home button and enter your passcode after the device has been put into Guided Access.
