AI-assisted proctoring supports — but doesn't replace — human proctors. Knowing what the technology looks for helps you set up your workspace to avoid unnecessary flags, and reduces anxiety about the process itself.
How AI Proctoring Works
AI systems typically monitor for movement, additional voices, additional faces, and unusual eye movement patterns. Flagged events are reviewed by a human — the AI does not make final decisions on integrity violations.
What Gets Flagged
- Face leaving the frame
- Additional people or voices in the room
- Reading from off-screen material
- Sudden loud background noise
Privacy Considerations
- Recordings are typically stored for a limited retention period
- Data handling is governed by the exam sponsor's privacy policy
- You can review the specific policy before booking
How to Prepare
- Set up front-facing lighting to keep your face clearly visible
- Silence household activity
- Stay within the webcam frame for the whole exam
- Don't read questions aloud
