Proctoring that watches without suspicion
Sessions recorded or watched live, and every flag reviewed by a person.
When a flag becomes an accusation
Some tools hand a program a list of “suspicious” sessions and leave staff to sort it out. A candidate approved to read questions aloud gets flagged for talking. Here a trained person reviews every flag with the accommodations in view, before anyone acts.
What your program can show
Flags reviewed by people
A trained reviewer watches each flagged moment within two business days and writes a finding.
Accommodations in view
Approved extra time, breaks, read-aloud or a human reader shown to proctors before the session.
Evidence you can show
Video, screen, ID image, flags and reviewer notes kept on one session record.
Privacy kept narrow
Camera and screen captured only during the exam, and recordings deleted on your schedule.
Proctoring modes by stakes
Record and review
Webcam, screen and audio recorded; flags reviewed by a trained person within two business days.
Live proctoring
A proctor checks ID, watches in real time and can pause a session with a written note.
Lockdown only
Browser lockdown and timing with no camera, for tests where video would be out of proportion.
What every session includes
Browser lockdown
Other tabs, apps, copy, paste and screen sharing blocked for the length of the exam.
Identity check
A photo ID and face photo taken at check-in and compared by a person, not a face-matching score.
Optional room scan
A slow webcam pan of the desk and room, switched on only when your exam rules require it.
System check
A two-minute camera, microphone and connection test candidates can run any day beforehand.
Accommodations noted
Extra time, breaks, read-aloud, scratch paper and service animals on file, so none is flagged.
Session record
Recording, flags, reviewer findings and incident reports kept on the same record as the score.
When results need a closer look
Example: a medical interpreter certification
A national association certifies about 1,200 medical interpreters a year, many living hours from a test center. Its written exam moves to record-and-review sessions any day of the week, in English or Spanish. Reviewers clear flags within two business days, and the certification committee sees written findings, not raw alerts, before any score is held.
Indicative price
Indicative, from$6
Per session for record and review; live proctoring from $18 a session. Every proposal is fixed-fee and itemized.
Questions about proctoring
Does remote proctoring stop cheating?
No, and we don’t claim it does. Proctoring deters misconduct by making the rules visible, detects moments worth a closer look and documents what happened. A trained person reviews each flag in context, and your program decides any action under its own published policy, after hearing from the candidate.
What do candidates need at home?
A laptop or desktop computer with a webcam and microphone, a current web browser and a stable internet connection. A two-minute system check runs any day before the exam. Candidates without a suitable room or device can test at a site instead, on the same form and the same record.
How are accommodations handled in a proctored exam?
Accommodations are set per candidate before the window opens and shown to the proctor and the reviewer. A candidate approved for read-aloud, extra breaks, a human reader or a service animal is not flagged for those things. Each accommodation is logged against its approval, so the record shows who approved it and when.
What happens to the recordings?
Recordings are used only to review that session and to answer an appeal. They are encrypted, hosted in the United States, visible only to roles you approve and deleted on the retention schedule you set, by default 12 months after the score is final. We do not use face recognition on them.
Should we choose live or record-and-review proctoring?
Choose live proctoring when one result carries high stakes and you want problems handled in the moment, such as a licensing exam with fixed windows. Choose record and review when candidates need to test any day or hour. Many programs use both: live for the main window, recorded for retakes and off-cycle candidates.
