Before the exam
Create the assessment or agree the LMS handoff. Set participant access, permitted resources, equipment checks and exceptions before invitations go out.
ONLINE PROCTORING
Online proctoring software. A clear process for every exam.
Verify who is taking the exam, monitor the agreed conditions and give reviewers the session evidence they need. Run assessments in TrustExam or scope proctoring for your existing platform.
A PRACTICAL APPROACH
What is online proctoring?
Online proctoring is a process for supervising an exam at a distance. It combines participant instructions, identity and environment checks, monitoring and review. The right setup depends on the exam stakes, permitted materials, participant devices and the people responsible for decisions.
During the session
Use the camera, screen and environment controls supported by your chosen browser, tray-assisted or desktop mode. Explain required checks to participants in advance.
After submission
Review answer scores separately from integrity signals. Authorised reviewers assess context, document their conclusion and follow the programme’s appeals process.
DETAILS & NEXT STEPS
From understanding to action.
01
Choose the review model
Decide when people review sessions: during the exam, after it, or both. Automated flags help locate relevant moments; they do not replace a misconduct decision. Agree staffing and response times for the programme.
02
Connect the full assessment workflow
Question preparation, invitations, exam delivery, grading and integrity review should have clear owners. If you already have an LMS, confirm identifiers, session launch and result exchange in a pilot.
03
Evaluate an actual exam scenario
Use representative devices and include technical interruptions, permitted tools and individual adjustments. Measure completed attempts, support demand and reviewer workload before extending the rollout.
FAQ
Answers before your next step
Explore the details before your demo. If your question is not here, talk it through with our team.
Talk to the teamIs online proctoring the same as a lockdown browser?
No. A locked exam environment restricts selected actions on the computer. Proctoring adds a supervision and review process. The two can be combined; the available controls depend on the delivery mode.
Can TrustExam deliver the exam itself?
Yes. TrustExam supports question creation and import, participant groups, invitations, exam delivery and results. The built-in IDE supports coding tasks; confirm the required runtime for your programme.
Who decides whether a rule was broken?
The authorised reviewer applies your programme’s rules to the evidence. A warning, TrustScore or automated event is information for review, not a final finding.
How much does proctoring cost?
Pricing depends on the exam volume, session length, delivery mode, integration and review responsibilities. Share these details with the team to receive a proposal for your setup.
I am taking an exam. Where do I start?
Use the invitation from your organiser and the Help Center. The organiser provides your access link, allowed materials, equipment requirements and support route. A sales demo is not an exam login.
