# What happens if I close my browser while taking a test?

Closing your browser while taking a test will end your test session. Depending on how your test administrator has configured the test settings, you may be able to restart the test where you left off.

If your test administrator has disabled this feature, you will either have to start the test again or contact your test administrator to resolve the issue.
