Innovation in test security

We combine human expertise with AI for robust exam supervision. Each test session is recorded via computer, phone camera, microphone, keyboard, and mouse, then reviewed by trained professionals for certification.

Secure by design

Adaptive test engine administers questions from a vast database, ensuring a test taker would need over 1,000 attempts to see a repeat question

Comprehensive proctoring

Expert human proctors, with the help of AI, examine each test session for more than 75 different behaviors in multiple, independent rounds of review

AI and data forensics

Millions of data points collected daily train security algorithms to help detect rule breaking and identify patterns of suspicious behavior

ID verification

A combination of Computer Vision, AI, and trained proctors verify test takers’ identity

Test lockdown

The test is automatically canceled if test takers attempt to access external applications or plugins during the test

Video sample

Accepting institutions can review a short video and writing sample from each test taker’s test session
