Fully Exam Kiosk

Fully Exam Kiosk locks an Android device to a configured exam website during an online exam. Students can use the selected quiz site and its features, but the kiosk blocks access to other websites, apps, and device features; it also blocks app switching and screen capture. The app supports learning management systems that support Safe Exam Browser, including Moodle. Teachers can create configurations and distribute them as FEK files, permalinks, or QR codes, and can import Moodle Safe Exam Browser configuration files (.seb). Other exam sites can be used if their URLs are kept secret, since otherwise students may open them in another browser. The app can run on school-owned or student-owned Android devices. Safe kiosk mode may require show-on-top and usage-data permissions. Kiosk mode can be exited through a configured quit link, a password-protected quit button, or a device reboot. The listed plan is free, at least until the end of 2027. Google Play developer-provided safety information says no data is collected or shared with third parties and data is encrypted in transit. Exam-site speed, bugs, and user experience are outside the app maker's control.

Fully Exam Kiosk provides a focused Android exam setup with configuration sharing and Moodle support. Its effectiveness for other exam sites depends on keeping their URLs secret, and the app maker does not control exam-site performance.

It suits teachers and schools running web-based exams on Android devices. It can also be used on students' own Android devices.

Fully Exam Kiosk is an Android app for keeping students inside a configured exam website. It best suits schools using Moodle or another learning management system that supports Safe Exam Browser. Its focused restrictions and free price are appealing, but Android-only coverage and reliance on the exam site’s own performance narrow its fit.

Overview

During an exam, students can use the configured quiz website and its features, while access to other websites, apps, and device features is blocked. The app also blocks app switching and screen capture. That gives schools a focused way to restrict exam devices, whether the devices belong to the school or the students.

Fully Exam Kiosk supports learning management systems that support Safe Exam Browser, including Moodle. Other exam websites can work if their URL stays secret; if students know it, they can open it in another browser. Schools that need controlled access should favor the supported LMS route, since the secret-URL approach depends on keeping that address private.

Key features

Exam setup and Moodle

Teachers can create an exam configuration and distribute it as an FEK file, permalink, or QR code. Moodle teachers can import a Safe Exam Browser configuration file (.seb) into the configurator, making it easier to carry those settings into the kiosk setup.

Device controls and exits

Safe kiosk mode may require students to grant show-on-top and usage-data access permissions. Kiosk mode can be stopped using a configured quit link, a password-protected quit button, or a device reboot. These controls give teachers several exit methods, though the permission requests add setup steps for students using their own devices.

Privacy and support

Google Play’s developer-provided data-safety information says the app does not collect or share data with third parties, and that data is encrypted in transit. Users with issues are asked to email a screenshot and short description to [email protected]. Exam-site speed, bugs, and user experience remain outside the app maker’s control, so kiosk restrictions cannot compensate for a slow or unreliable exam website.

Pricing

Fully Exam Kiosk costs nothing, with free use available at least until the end of 2027. There is no paid tier to unlock the core kiosk setup, making it a practical choice for schools that need Android exam restrictions without a software charge. Its free price does not remove the platform limit or the dependence on exam-site quality.

Platforms

Fully Exam Kiosk supports Android. Schools with iPhones, iPads, Macs, or Windows devices will need another option for those exam sessions.

Who it's for

This is a good fit for schools that run web-based exams on Android devices and want to distribute configurations across a class. Moodle users get the clearest setup path through .seb import, while other LMS users should confirm Safe Exam Browser compatibility. It is a weaker fit for exams hosted on sites where students can readily obtain the URL, and for organizations that need a single lockdown tool across several operating systems.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Free use through at least the end of 2027: schools can deploy it without a software fee during that period.
• Multiple configuration sharing options: FEK files, permalinks, and QR codes give teachers several ways to distribute exam setups.
• Moodle configuration import: importing a Safe Exam Browser .seb file can reduce duplicate setup work.
• Focused device restrictions: blocking other apps, websites, device features, app switching, and screen capture helps keep students within the exam environment.

Cons

• Android only: schools using other platforms need another solution for those devices.
• Other exam sites depend on URL secrecy: students can open a known address in another browser.
• Exam-site quality is outside the maker’s control: the app cannot resolve the speed, bugs, or user experience of the exam website.
• Permissions can add setup friction: students may need to grant show-on-top and usage-data access for safe kiosk mode.

Verdict

Choose Fully Exam Kiosk if your school runs exams on Android and uses Moodle or another Safe Exam Browser-compatible LMS. Its free use, configuration sharing, and focused device restrictions make it a sensible fit for that specific job. Look elsewhere if you need support beyond Android, or if your exam site cannot keep its URL private and controlled.
