# Survey Information

_General Queries · SurveyTester Academy_

## Q: Can SurveyTester access or store internal survey information such as quota status, screenout reasons, etc.?

**A:** SurveyTester can only access information that is visible in the browser during testing. Many users/programmers configure special *hidden* questions to appear in Test Mode. When these hidden questions are displayed, SurveyTester can read the information shown.

**Hidden Questions:** When hidden questions are shown in Test Mode, display them as **read-only**. This ensures users can view and reference the information like any other survey question, but SurveyTester will not attempt to answer or modify them.
