If you want to run written exams online and restrict the candidate's access to other applications using Practique you will need to configure Safe Exam Browser. 

Safe Exam Browser is a third party browser designed specifically for online assessment. It allows exam systems like Practique to have control over the environment that the candidate has when taking the exam. This could be something like not allowing the candidate to access the internet whilst taking the exam for example.
