Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)
1. What to expect in a proctored exam?
Usually, an online proctored exam requires test-takers to show the four walls of their room as the first anti-cheating measure. Identity authentication, testing of device audio and camera, screen sharing and ensuring the absence of additional devices in the room are the measures that follow. During the test, an ideal proctoring software monitors the test-takers' screen activity, locks down web browsers and enables flagging of suspicious activities to prevent malpractices.
2. What are proctored exams?
Proctored exams are online time-bound evaluations conducted for a range of academic and recruitment purposes. These exams are hosted on secure exam platforms that use the test-takers' webcam and audio to capture screen activity and prevent cheating.

It is essential to overcome the said challenges to preserve the integrity of the exam.
6. How do online proctored exams work?

After the approval, the remote proctored exam begins, and an AI or a human proctor monitors the exam from start to finish. During the test, an ideal proctoring software monitors the test-takers' screen activity, locks down web browsers and enables flagging of suspicious activities to prevent malpractices.

Setting excessively complex question papers
8. What is the difference between proctored and non-proctored exams?
A proctored exam utilizes AI technology to monitor the test-takers' screen activities. Alternatively proctored exams could also have a human invigilator remotely supervising the test. Contrarily, a non-proctored exam us unsupervised and allows test takers to complete the test at their chosen time and pace. Proctored exams ensure greater reliability and fairness in the test-taking and evaluation process when compared to non-proctored exams.
9. How do online proctored exams work?
A prerequisite for any online proctored exam is for the test-taker to switch on their video and audio and verify their identity. After a proper 3-point identity verification, or biometric authentication, a test-taker is allowed to start the exam. Post that, an AI or a human proctor monitors the exam from start to finish. They are swift at spotting discrepancies in the process and eliminate any form of unfair activity like cheating.
