Proctor During & After the Exam

Live Proctoring

Live proctoring involves real-time supervision by human proctors who observe both the candidate’s screen activity and webcam feed throughout the exam

Post proctoring

Post-proctoring allows you to review recorded screen and webcam footage at any time, with the option to flag suspicious behavior across multiple candidates simultaneously.

Why It Matters

Live proctoring catches issues in the moment, while post-exam review ensures nothing is missed. Together, they offer complete exam security.

Live and post proctoring options

Enable Full Exam Lockdown

Screen Lockdown

Screen lockdown prevents access to other browser tabs, applications, and external windows during the exam, ensuring candidates stay within the test environment.

Browser Lockdown

Browser lockdown disables browser extensions to prevent access to tools that could give candidates an unfair advantage.

Why It’s Important

Lockdown features create a fair, secure environment by preventing the use of outside resources or browser-based assistance.

Secure online exam environment with monitoring

Monitor Every Test Live

Live Dashboard

Live dashboard provides a real-time overview of all active sessions, including timing, completion status, and candidate activity.

Active Oversight

Instant access to live exam data enables quick responses to potential violations, helping maintain control throughout the exam.

The Benefit

Early detection helps prevent minor issues from becoming major violations and ensures a fair experience for all candidates.

Live monitoring of candidates

Record Candidates Throughout the Test

Webcam Recording

Webcam recording captures video of the test-taker throughout the entire exam session, enabling identity verification and post-exam review of any suspicious behavior.

Screen recording

Screen recording continuously captures all on-screen activity during the exam, documenting every action the candidate takes for real-time monitoring and post-exam review.

How It Helps

Recording features provide irrefutable visual and behavioral evidence to support integrity reviews and identity verification.

Let AI Detect Suspicious Behavior

Automated Analysis

AI reviews webcam footage in real time to detect anomalies such as multiple faces, unusual movements, or the absence of a candidate.

Efficiency Boost

AI filters out normal activity and flags only questionable behavior, reducing manual review time and allowing human proctors to focus on what matters.

Key Advantage

AI helps maintain exam integrity while significantly reducing the time and effort required for human review.

Assemble Questions with LOFT Testing

How it Works

Questions are selected from predefined, balanced pools based on rules such as difficulty, topic, or competency, creating a unique exam path for each candidate.

What It Prevents

LOFT testing prevents answer sharing and memorization by eliminating fixed forms and predictable question patterns.

Why This Matters

By generating unique exam paths, LOFT testing strengthens exam security and ensures fair, consistent assessment across candidates.

Restrict Time & Navigation

Granular Timing

You can apply custom time limits at the test, section, or page level to keep candidates on track and prevent extended time on any part.

One-Way Navigation

One-way navigation restricts candidates from going back to previous questions, ensuring each answer is final and reducing opportunities for revision or collaboration.

The Impact

Structured flow reduces opportunities for cheating and encourages candidates to stay engaged, decisive, and honest.

Control Who Gets In

Control who can enter the exam by requiring secure credentials such as usernames, passwords, PINs, or unique invitation codes.

Authorized Participation

Authorized participation ensures each candidate can access only their assigned exam, preventing unauthorized access or participation in the wrong test.

The Point

Controlling access ensures only the right individuals take the exam, minimizing the risk of cheating or misuse.
