Why This Happens
When a Google Form is restricted to specific email addresses, it loads in a read-only preview mode for unauthorized accounts. You can see the questions but cannot interact with them. Since AutoProctor embeds the Google Form within its interface, this restriction appears inside the AutoProctor test window.
Test form loaded in read-only mode due to incorrect Google account
How to Fix It
1
Log out of all Google accounts
Visit accounts.google.com/Logout and sign out of all your accounts.
2
Sign in with the correct account
Sign back in with the Google account that has been granted access to the test. Check with your test administrator if you are unsure which account to use.
3
Reload the test
Navigate back to the test link and load it again. You should now be able to click on questions and select answers.
If you are unsure which Google account has access, contact your test administrator. They can confirm the email address that was granted permission to take the test.
