Prepare Exam Mode

After selectingExam Mode, a dialog box appears which requires you to switch to Airplane Mode and turn off both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Afterward, you are asked to confirm the App Self-Lock by selecting Yes. This ensures your iPhone or iPad is locked to the GeoGebra App Exam Mode and does not allow your device to access to anything else.

If you use the Exam Mode for the first time, you will also be asked to allow access to your iPhone or iPad's photo library. GeoGebra asks this in order to save a screenshot of the Exam Details (that appears at the end of an exam) to your photo library.

Region Exam Settings

To support the differences in student calculator requirements between various regions or countries, we offer regional exam modes to provide the right package for every teacher, school, and district using our GeoGebra Calculator Suite app. For example, in Niedersachsen, Germany, students are not permitted to use 3D functionality so we have disabled it in the “Niedersachsen Abitur” Exam Mode. The table below shows which functionalities are available in each Exam Mode option.

In the future it is possible that more regional options will become available. You can always choose the “GeoGebra Calculator SuiteExam Mode for the complete functionality of the GeoGebra Calculator Suite app. Note: The regional Exam Modes cannot be used with MDM-initiated Exam Modes.

Start Exam

Next, a Start Exam dialog appears in which you can finally start the Exam Mode. After starting the Exam Mode your iPhone or iPad is locked to the GeoGebra App. Your device will be unlocked, when the app ends assessment mode, or after 8 hours. The Exam Mode starts when you press Start in the Start Exam dialog. The timer starts and the color turns to green. Every GeoGebra Exam starts with an empty view. If you have ongoing constructions beforehand, you will be asked to save your work before starting the exam. Note: You can still switch between Graphing, Geometry, CAS and 3D Calculator in the GeoGebra Calculator Suite after starting the Exam Mode.

When taking an exam with the GeoGebra Calculator Suite, the specific Exam Mode option will be displayed in the upper left corner of the banner, and in the Exam Details.

At the end of an exam, you can leave the Exam Mode by opening the App menu and selecting Exit Exam. Confirm your decision by selecting Exit in the appearing dialog. After leaving the Exam Mode, the Exam Details are shown automatically. A screenshot of this dialog is also automatically saved in the photo library of your mobile device, so you can have a look at it again later.

Your iPhone or iPad is now no longer locked to the GeoGebra App. You can use your device again with all its functionalities. Note that you have to end Airplane Mode manually in order to be online again.

Exam Mode and Security

When you're doing an exam with any GeoGebra Exam Mode, you are locked to it. For iOS 13 it is not possible to unlock the app while Exam Mode. All keys on your iPhone or iPad won't work as usual as long as the app is locked. Nevertheless, if anyone finds a way to unlock it, you will see a visual alert. The header's color turns to red. In addition, the alert is also shown in the Exam Details.
