The Respondus LockDown Browser priority report is a series of indicators that suggest which exams need reviewing. There are three levels of indicators, green, yellow and red – each of which indicate a different level of concern. Review Priority measures two characteristics of the exam session: the quality of the data captured, and, events or flags that may indicate exam violations have occurred.
