Starting an exam

Step 1 — get your access code

Your teacher gives you an 8-character alphanumeric code (e.g. AB12CD34).

Step 2 — open the exam-entry page

Open your normal browser and go to your institute's exam-entry URL:

https://<domain>/<institute>/exam-entry/

Your teacher provides the full address.

Step 3 — enter the code

Type the 8-character code in capital letters and click Submit.

Typing the code

Use the code exactly as provided (letters are uppercase). After several wrong attempts you may be asked to solve a simple arithmetic challenge.

Step 4 — authenticate

For built-in (SES) exams:

1. You are redirected to your institute's SSO page
2. Log in with your institute credentials
3. You are returned to the exam-entry page

For external EMS exams you are forwarded to the external quiz after this.

Step 5 — download and open SEB

1. After authentication, a SEB configuration file (.seb) is downloaded
2. Open the .seb file — SEB starts automatically
3. The exam loads inside the locked browser

Strict time

If the exam uses strict time, you can only enter during the scheduled window — arriving too early or too late blocks access.

Step 6 — start

• The exam interface loads automatically in SEB
• Your session starts when you open a question for the first time
• The timer starts running

Troubleshooting
