On the homepage of the course, click on Student View on the top right corner. Then, go to the Honorlock tab and open the quiz. Follow the Honorlock verification steps and take the exam as if you were a student. If enabled, the photo ID verification will not work because you are under the Test Student role. You will need to start a chat with Support to bypass this step. They will recognize you as the instructor or TA of the course and allow you to bypass it without showing ID.  

After you submit the exam, the proctoring results will be available for you to review for the Test student.
