In case this is useful to you, from CB:

The default location will be in: ~/Library/Application Support/cb-exam-player/

@Sandy That's correct. I logged in with the student account. Everything was saved on the cb-exam-player folder.

@drioux Can I ask what you do to block standard users from installing any "Drag and Drop" programs on their user account?

Thanks for starting this chat. Did anyone send out an additional profile for the "write access" to folders? I just grabbed the DMG from College board and tossed it in Self Service. I'm concerned about the folder access.

I do see the cb-exam player folder on student devices.

Currently on hold hour #2 with College Board. Lots of transferring calls, but no solid answer just yet.

@swallace The path is ~/Library/Application Support/cb-exam-player As long as users have access to write to their own home directory (which they always almost do) then there shouldn't be a problem.

Just a note,
We had a few students who could not complete the setup of the app before the test, but we were able to resolve it by removing that folder listed above and then run the setup and it worked fine.
