I'm also just concerned if this might get flagged or something while taking an actual test or argumentative writing section - if anyone has an answer to this, that would be great. Thanks!
@ryumi hi! you wont be using your actual computer during the test anyway, so you dont need to be worried about it being flagged. as for arg writing, it will use a separate prometric browser that blocks all of that. if you clear your browser's cookies, typically that will get rid of your previous searches :) but this is what google has to say about autofill:
Turning Off Autofill in Chrome
Click the Chrome menu icon. (Three dots at top right of screen.)
Click on Settings.
In the "Autofill" section, expand the area for which you wish to disable Autofill.
Toggle the setting OFF if it is on. The system will automatically save your settings.
Clearing Autofill Data in Chrome
Click the Chrome menu icon. (Three dots at top right of screen.)
Click on History, then click on History again in the menu that appears.
Select Clear browsing data. (Alternatively, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL on your keyboard to bypass steps 1-3.)
If it is not already selected, click on the "Advanced" tab.
At the top, choose “All Time” option to clear all saved data.
Make sure that the “Autofill Form Data” option is checked. If you wish to clear "Passwords and other sign-in data", be sure to check that option as well.
