3. Exam Security and Integrity
We employ multiple layers of security to ensure fair and secure examinations.
3.1 Identity Verification
-
Pre-Exam Verification: Candidates must verify their identity using official identification documents before taking high-stakes exams.
-
Continuous Monitoring: During the exam, we may employ remote proctoring technologies to verify identity and monitor activity .
-
Signature and Confirmation: Candidates sign a commitment to academic integrity before beginning the exam .
3.2 Secure Exam Environment
-
Locked Browser: Our platform uses browser lockdown technology to prevent candidates from navigating to other websites, opening applications, or printing during the exam .
-
One Question at a Time: To prevent copying and sharing, exams display one question at a time .
-
Question Randomization: Questions are drawn from large item banks, and each candidate receives a unique question set or randomized question order .
-
Time Limits: Each exam has a defined time limit, reducing the opportunity for unauthorized assistance .
3.3 Proctoring
-
AI Proctoring: Artificial intelligence monitors candidate behavior and flags suspicious activities (e.g., looking away from the screen, multiple faces detected, unauthorized devices) .
-
Live Proctoring: For high-stakes exams, live proctors may observe candidates via webcam and intervene if irregularities are detected .
-
Zoom Proctoring: Candidates may be required to join a Zoom session with cameras on during the exam .
3.4 Protecting Exam Content
-
Content Security: Exam questions and materials are confidential and protected by intellectual property laws.
-
Harvesting Prevention: Technical measures prevent screen recording, copying, and unauthorized distribution of exam content .
-
Consequences for Breach: Any attempt to record, share, or reproduce exam content will result in immediate disqualification and potential legal action .
3.5 Addressing Limitations
While we implement robust security measures, no system is 100% foolproof. Candidates may still attempt to access information on secondary devices (e.g., cell phones) . Our layered security approach—combining technology, proctoring, and academic integrity commitments—significantly reduces these risks .
4. Account and Password Security
