Anti-Cheating
Anti-cheating settings control how the exam environment is monitored and secured — each option can be enabled independently, and combining them narrows the range of devices that can take the step.
These settings apply per step, so different steps within the same task can use different combinations depending on how much friction is appropriate for that part of the assessment.
Settings configured here apply to every candidate by default — but individual candidates can be given relaxed anti-cheating settings from their ticket without changing the step itself.
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).
