Anti-Cheating

Published 2026/07/08

Anti-cheating settings control how the exam environment is monitored and secured. Each option can be enabled independently; combining them narrows the range of devices that can take the step.

Audit logs record candidate activity throughout the exam — the factual timeline that answers “what exactly happened in this session?”. Two levels are available:

  • Basic logging — captures the key events: session start and finish, answers saved, page navigation, and integrity events such as lockdown violations.
  • Advanced logging — adds fine-grained timing data and a suspicious-scoring analysis over the activity pattern, for exams where behavioral evidence matters.

The logs power two surfaces: the Events panel of the live Exam Monitor (the real-time stream with severity filtering) and the event log timeline in Session Details (the permanent record used for disputes and audits). When a candidate claims “the system lost my answers”, the save events settle it in seconds.

Capture the candidate's camera during the exam — periodic photos or continuous video with audio — including the identity photo, what each mode enables in AI analysis, and device support.

Capture what the candidate sees: periodic screenshots or continuous screen video, in strict entire-monitor mode or relaxed any-surface mode — with the browser support each choice implies.

Lock the exam into fullscreen with violation tracking, dialogs, and kick-out limits — or use relaxed mode's focus tracking to admit phones — plus single-monitor enforcement and its browser constraints.

Content protection makes it harder to copy, print, or share your exam content — protecting the questions themselves rather than watching the candidate. Each protection is a separate toggle:

  • Disable printing — blocks printing the exam page.
  • Disable text selection — question text can't be selected and copied.
  • Disable the context menu — removes right-click (copy, save, inspect shortcuts).
  • Block Google Translate — prevents in-browser page translation, which both leaks content and defeats language testing.
  • Block paste — candidates can't paste prepared text into answers; blocked attempts are logged and surface as an integrity signal in monitoring.
  • Disable spell-check — the browser won't correct or hint in text answers, keeping language assessment honest.

These are deterrents against casual leakage, not absolute barriers — nothing stops a phone photographing the screen. For content that must not leak, combine protection with webcam recording (which catches the phone) and randomized question pools (which devalue any single leaked variant).
