Elsevier Secure Browser Faculty Guide: Student Testing on iPads

Download the Secure Browser App

To ensure testing devices are sufficiently prepared for your students’ HESI exams, the Elsevier Secure Browser must be installed and the compatibility check must be run successfully on the appropriate testing devices. Faculty who are proctoring their students’ HESI exams will not need to download the secure browser on the devices they will use to proctor exams. The secure browser only needs to be installed on the devices used for test-taking.
Note: Review the device requirements ahead of test day.

1. Use Safari to access HESI NG and click the “Compatibility Check” link in the left menu of the course homepage to download the secure browser and verify system compatibility before the exam. This is the official access point and must be used for both the compatibility check and mock exam.
Note: If you get an error using this link, clear the cache on your device or paste into an incognito browser. 

6. On exam day, students log into HESI NG and launch their exam. If the app is already downloaded, it will open automatically. If not, students will be prompted to download it and follow the steps above.

Note: If the app is opened directly from the iPad home, it will open to the landing page. The app must be accessed via the HESI NG Compatibility Check or exam launch to display content.
