Question: How to secure an exam administered on student laptops

Our school, all medical schools, are moving to digital exams. The only way I can think of ensuring they would be secure is to boot every laptop from a live CD or over the network.

The National Board of Medical Examiners, meanwhile, is pushing QuestionMark, which only runs its "secure" browser on Windows. I'm just a student helping the faculty; I don't have a copy of Windows. Would anyone be willing to run the "QuestionMark Secure" in a Windows VM and see if it protests?

Feeling awkward here, but would greatly appreciate the assist.
