With Assessment Mode, assessment apps can disable certain hardware and software features to meet the requirements for a secure test environment, and prevent a test taker from using other apps and invalidating test results.
Use an app with Assessment Mode built in
Securing iPad or Mac for testing with a supported app requires no additional setup or management, such as Mobile Device Management (MDM). Apps with Assessment Mode lock iPad or Mac into the single app automatically, which means that while Assessment Mode is active, users can't switch to another app.
Check with your assessment provider to make sure that their app uses Assessment Mode.

Lock iPad in to a single testing app with Single App Mode
If your app doesn't support Assessment Mode, or you use an app for diagnostic, classroom, or formative assessment purposes, you can use MDM software to set up your iPad for Single App Mode. Your MDM software installs a profile that identifies the selected app and forces it to open on the device, preventing students from using other apps. In the profile, you can specify additional features that you don't want students to use.
If you want to restrict keyboard and dictionary functions, you must restrict those features separately. Learn more about restricting keyboard and dictionary functions.
Turn Off Single App Mode Mac Pro
System Integrity Protection (SIP) is a security feature of macOS originally introduced in OS X El Capitan designed to make it even more difficult for malware to access important system files, keeping them safe from unwanted modifications. In the early days of SIP, some developers ran into problems when the system would keep core functionality of their apps from working properly because those apps made changes to the way the operating system worked by editing the system files that SIP was now in place to protect.
SIP exists to keep your Mac safe. There's no good reason that most Mac users should feel the need to disable it, especially these days. Tools that needed functionality that SIP cut off have generally either fallen by the wayside or found a way to work with SIP. That being said, if you absolutely need to turn off System Integrity Protection, there's a way to do it.
