Live-proctored test #
An online live-proctored test is monitored remotely by a human proctor in real-time through video and audio conferencing technology. The proctor observes the test-taker via webcam to ensure test integrity by checking for signs of cheating or misconduct. These tests are commonly used for high-stakes exams, such as certifications and entrance exams, where security and fairness are crucial.
For more information on creating a proctored test, please see this article.
