5 Exam Mode
The HP Prime calculator can be precisely congured for an examination, with any number of features or
functions disabled for a set period of time. Conguring a HP Prime calculator for an examination is called
exam mode conguration. You can create and save multiple exam mode congurations, each with its own
subset of functionality disabled. You can set each conguration for its own time period, with or without a
password. An exam mode
conguration can be activated from an HP Prime calculator, sent from one HP Prime
calculator to another via USB cable, or sent to one or more HP Prime calculators via the Connectivity Kit.
Exam mode conguration will be of interest primarily to teachers, proctors, and invigilators who want to
ensure that the calculator is used appropriately by students sitting for an examination. In the following gure,
user-customized apps, the help system, and the computer algebra system have been selected for disabling.
As part of an exam mode conguration, you can choose to activate three lights on the calculator that blink
periodically during exam mode. The lights are on the top edge of the calculator. The lights help the supervisor
of the examination detect if any particular calculator has dropped out of exam mode. The ashing of lights on
all calculators placed in exam mode are synchronized so that all blink the same pattern at the same time.
Using Basic Mode
When you rst access the Exam Mode view, the Conguration eld displays Basic Mode by default. Basic Mode
cannot be changed by the user. If you wish to dene your own exam mode conguration, change the
conguration to Custom Mode. For more information about designing your own conguration, see Modifying
the default conguration on page 55. In Basic Mode, the following settings are congured:
●
The HP Prime calculator memory is hidden while exam mode is enabled.
●
The green light at the top of the calculator blinks.
