There are some ways how to disable browsers functions but as far I know this is done trough JavaScript, don't think Java is capable of this

Is this a Java question or a JavaScript question?

I'm not sure on this...but could you use a session ID or a cookie to identify a refresh and then cancel the question for the user for cheating?
It is very important to read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

if your serverside code that tracks the answers and questions were smart enough it would detect such blatant cheating attempts and immediately fail the student (or subtract the amount of time they thought to gain by cheating)...

what about checking timestamps on threads before posting in them (and that goes for you other kiddos as well!)?

And what about reading the actual answers already provided before posting your own?
