Automated Proctoring
By utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the system itself records and monitors test attempts using behavioral trackers. Once the exam is finished, the system generates a credibility report and stores the exam footage for the optional subsequent human validation and review.
Authentication of Candidates
Before the exam starts, automated software conducts the equipment check, i.e., ensures the candidate is sharing a screen with video and audio recording.
Optionally, additional ID verification can be enabled, where students are required to present their photo IDs for the system to scan and compare with the face in front of the camera and profile pictures.
Real-Time Monitoring
Candidates are monitored via web camera during the whole test-taking process. All their screen activities are recorded, and any suspicious behavior is flagged using behavioral trackers. Artificial intelligence technology marks moments when there are multiple or unauthorized faces in front of the camera, background noise, changing focus to another window, and many more. If there is a violation, the system will automatically lock the screen to prevent unauthorized access. After the exam is over, the system generates the credibility report, i.e., proctoring report containing the score and assessment of candidates' behavior.
Video Archiving and Review
Audio and video recording data of test attempts are stored on the cloud and available for additional human review.
Test managers can go through only suspicious moments and verify credibility reports generated by the system.
Record & Review by the YouTestMe Customer Service Team
Candidates can do their exams as usual, at any time they desire. The YouTestMe customer service representative reviews the recording of each candidate separately, identifies all violations, and provides the final report on the candidate’s behavior. Upon starting the test, the student will be presented with a warning of what might trigger exam termination.
Live Proctoring
Live proctoring is a hybrid model that includes a formal human audit in addition to automated proctoring. This is the most secure solution that minimizes the chances of cheating to an absolute minimum, ideal for high-stake exams. YouTestMe certified proctors are trained to handle all the test monitoring in a lawful manner, which helps test owners feel more comfortable that the integrity of their test is protected.
Proctors supervise the whole session in real-time, with the assistance of automated software. Therefore, proctors can intervene to rule out cheating behavior whenever a red flag is raised.
The recommended number of candidates that a single proctor can monitor is 25, and you can hire YouTestMe certified proctors for English and French speakers.
