What is BYOD?
BYOD — Bring Your Own Device — means candidates sit an exam on their own hardware (a personal laptop or tablet) rather than on machines the institution provides. It removes the cost and logistics of maintaining computer labs, and lets exams run wherever candidates are.
The trade-off is control: you can't lock down a device you don't own the way you can a managed one. That's why BYOD exams rely on a lockdown environment and proctoring to keep them secure, plus a platform that works reliably across whatever devices candidates bring. Synap supports BYOD delivery on any device.
