Secure Exam Proctor

Image from store Proctorio

Description from store Proctorio is a tool created for accessibility. It enables you to take exams remotely while protecting the value of your online degree/certifications and helps to prevent financial aid fraud. Here are some important things to keep in mind when using Proctorio on your assessments: 1. No one here will be watching you - Proctorio removes human bias by using an automated system to level the playing field for you. Any information collected during your assessment is only visible to authorized individuals at your institution—not us. 2. Your information is completely safe - Any information collected during your assessment is encrypted with 256 bit AES encryption before it leaves your computer. Remember that Proctorio works exclusively within the browser and does not have access to your local machine. 3. No personal information is sold - Our privacy design means we can't even see your data. There is nothing for us to sell to third parties. The following permissions may be required by your Chrome browser. In full transparency, here is why we need to use them: READ AND CHANGE ALL YOUR DATA ON THE WEBSITES YOU VISIT - It’s a lot less scary that it sounds… This permission does not mean the extension will read or change anything on the websites you visit. It is triggered by the Chrome tab capture API, that the extension uses to record tabs while inside a test. Tab capture is optionally set by the exam administrators and not forced by Proctorio. This message is also triggered by the <all_urls> declaration which allows the extension to detect the exam. If Proctorio did not ask for this permission, each and every institution would need a different extension or Proctorio would be forced to release permission updates every time a new customer wanted to use Proctorio. Both of those options would make things more complex and increase confusion. FINANCIAL AND PAYMENT INFORMATION - Proctorio does not directly collect financial and payment information from test takers. This permission is only required to allow our third party payment processor to process payment from test takers who are required to pay for their exams. CAPTURE THE CONTENT OF YOUR SCREEN - Some exams require desktop recording. This is set solely by your exam administrator and/or institution. This permission allows Proctorio to capture your screen during an exam—using a technique that intentionally obfuscates sensitive information. Proctorio support can also leverage this to help provide fast & effective technical support. Screen recording cannot be started automatically. Google Chrome offers you another layer of protection by asking you a second time for permission to share your screen. This will happen each and every time the screen share is needed. Google Chrome also places messaging at the bottom of your screen so you always know when it is being captured. You can manually end screen recording at any time. Once an exam is submitted, Proctorio will always automatically end screen capture for you. MANAGE YOUR DOWNLOADS - If your exam administrator has disabled your ability to download files during an exam, Proctorio will use this permission to do that. Proctorio doesn’t monitor your downloads except while inside the exam. Proctorio simply uses this permission to prevent test-takers from downloading items while in an exam. Like all test lockdown settings, this only applies when your exam administrator has enabled it—otherwise, the extension will never manage your downloads. MANAGE YOUR APPS, EXTENSIONS, AND THEMES - Sometimes another app or extension can cause conflicts with Proctorio. This permission allows Proctorio to see what other extensions are installed to look for these possible issues. Proctorio will never install, download or modify your theme. Proctorio uses this permission to automatically enable and disable Chromevox (for ADA test takers when necessary). Lastly, this permission allows the extension to temporarily disable extensions or apps during an exam if the exam administrator has specified that lockdown setting. DISPLAY NOTIFICATIONS - This permission simply allows Proctorio to display important notifications while you’re in an exam. MODIFY DATA YOU COPY AND PASTE - If the exam administrator has disabled your ability to copy and paste during an exam, Proctorio will use this permission to clear your clipboard. Unlike other solutions, Proctorio cannot see the contents of your clipboard. These permissions are only required while you are in a proctored exam and do not affect your ability to copy & paste outside of an exam. IDENTIFY AND EJECT STORAGE DEVICES - Don’t worry. We won’t eject any of your storage devices. This permission allows Proctorio to look at your computer resources to determine whether your computer meets the system requirements. If you encounter a problem before or during an exam, this information can help us better assist you. CHANGE YOUR PRIVACY-RELATED SETTINGS - Again, this is a lot less scary than it sounds. Within your Chrome browser, you can disable 3rd party cookies under your privacy settings. Proctorio uses Olark (https://www.olark.com/) to provide proactive chat support so that in the event you experience an issue before entering an exam, we can chat in to help you out. Olark requires (https://www.olark.com/help/cookies) that your 3rd party cookies are enabled which is why we need this permission. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Single purpose policy: use browser to secure online exams Proctorio is iKeepSafe (FERPA, COPPA and CSPC) Certified: https://ikeepsafe.org/product/proctorio/ https://proctorio.com/privacy https://proctorio.com/policies https://proctorio.com/privacy/audits https://proctorio.com/privacy/compliance https://proctorio.com/privacy/data-security

Latest reviews

(2024-05-03) Zoe: Wasn't buggy for me personally, but it causes problems with many other students. Most could not properly start the test. I would not want to install this again for any class.
(2024-04-01) Tiffany: ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. SUPPORT IS NON EXISTENT. I HAVE USED PROCTORIO SEVERAL TIMES. I HAD ALREADY INSTALLED THE APP AND I TRIED TO START MY EXAM SEVERAL TIMES. THE EXAM WOULD NOT OPEN. I TRIED TO GET IN CONTACT WITH HELPDESK SUPPORT, COULD NOT GET INTO THE CHAT, I CALLED BOTH NUMBERS THEY HAVE LISTED THE 844 NUMBER JUST RANG ONE TIME THEN COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED, THE 813 NUYMBER LISTED, GOES TO VOICEMAIL, I LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES, NO RESPONSE. THIS IS A COMPLETE JOKE AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. HORRIBLE APP, HORRIBLE SUPPORT, ALL HORRIBLE, DO NOT USE THIS APP IT SUCKS. PROCTORIO OWES ME SOME MONEY BECAUSE THIS APP HAS CAUSED ME TO FAIL MY EXAM, NOW I WILL LIKELY NOT GET CREDIT. THE CLASS I WAS TAKING THE EXAM FOR IS LITERALLY THE LAST CLASS I NEED FOR MY DEGREE. I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE EVEN ONE STAR...I WANT TO LEAVE NEGATIVE STARS BECAUSE THAT IS ALL THIS GOOD FOR NOTHING APP DESERVES. PROFESSORS PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS APP FOR YOUR STUDENTS. ITS NO GOOD. CAUSES ANXIETY AND DEPRESSIO
(2024-02-27) Bryce: To any professor who plans on using this do NOT it is awful for your students. I tried to take my test using it and it would kick me from the test for the dumbest reasons like scratching my eye. Midterms and Exams should be taken in person not online this is not going to be what fixes that problem for online classes. It will only make your students frustrated. it also logs you out of all of your accounts when you are kicked from a test, so you have to re-login to everything after getting kicked to retake the class. on a canvas-based test, the test time limit will continue even after you are kicked so you will lose time for getting kicked as you re-login to do your test.
(2024-02-11) Jared: Trash spyware.
(2024-02-04) Nya: I've tried to do my quiz for two weeks, no assistance from Proctorio or my "Professor". Trashy software, scam if ever there was one.
(2024-02-02) John: Feel like I'm begging to give my money away.
(2024-01-28) Jacob: An absolute POS software
(2024-01-16) Dimitry: Horrid software, biggest POS ever. Almost never works, and no support avilible.
(2023-12-26) Jacqueline: I'm just waiting!!!
(2023-09-28) Trachelle: I waited 45min to take a practice exam, it never loaded. I have other classes and could have been doing other course work. Please fix this issue
(2023-09-27) Alvarado,: GARBAGE!!!! This app is straight trash, I was disconnected in the middle of an exam. It did not specify why, nor did it let me restart after trying to follow their troubleshooting advice. One of the instructions was to do a live chat with support, but it wouldn't let me. The only other option it was giving was to send an email and hope for a response before my timed exam was over. HA! What a joke!
(2023-08-30) Gary: 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
(2023-08-30) Dennis: 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
(2023-08-30) Cecil: 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
(2023-08-30) Aaron: 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
(2023-08-30) Aaron: 这个插件太好用了吧~~~
(2023-08-25) n: It is unequivocally pointless to leave a five-star review just to be different from the crowd, who all rightfully criticize this application for the numerous technical difficulties it is ridden with.
(2023-08-09) Wright,: There are severe technical difficulties that need to be resolved in this program. I was unable to start my exam for over an hour because I could not sign the exam agreement. I was on live chat with help assistance for over an hour and all of their solutions did not work, in the end asking me if I could take my exam on another device.

(2023-07-07) 풲풾퓁퓁풾풶퓂: I normally wouldn't give such a good rating but this doesn't deserve 1 star. I see some people looking at the permissions, but they do actually make sense. Read and change all your data on all websites>>Allows the extension to tell the tab running the test that proctorio is installed and up to date. Display notifications>>Tell you when it thinks you are cheating Modify data you copy and paste >> prevent copying an answer sheet directly into the window Capture the content on your screen>>collect evidence of possible cheating for further investigation/review Manage your downloads >> again, prevent downloading something with a special name that could give you an advantage (I.E. "Asqr(X)+BX+C=0,(-B+-RT(sqr(B)-4AC))div(2A).ZIP" I know that probably isn't a valid file name) View and eject storage devices>>Same as above Manage your apps, extensions, and themes>>import above file as an extension, make your new tab a cheatsheet Change your privacy-related settings>>I don't know fair point
(2023-07-05) Elizabeth: I thought I would give it chance; however, this application is trash. I changed the settings because I do not feel like this "add-on" should have all the access that it is asking for. I allow it access to the websites it should (school and the workbook website) but it still is not working. The "please wait while we prepare your exam" has been preparing the exam for over 30 minutes and it is still preparing. Who came up with this? Please take it back and never use it again. AND my exam is still loading. 35 minutes later.
(2023-06-29) Evan: lets all leave a bad review so this gets taking off. It needs way to much computer access and is fishy
(2023-06-26) Abed: According to the extension itself on Installed Extensions>Proctorio: Permissions: Read and change all your data on all websites Display notifications Modify data you copy and paste Capture the content on your screen Manage your downloads View and eject storage devices Manage your apps, extensions, and themes Change your privacy-related settings
(2023-06-04) Charles: I am appalled that a university asked me to install this for an online class only for it to not work! I do not like all the strange access it requires and I also got stuck on "please wait while we prepare your exam..." I've taken online courses before, but never had to use such software.
(2023-05-24) Kellen: George Orwell approved. Necessary tool for questionable instructors.
(2023-05-23) Mark: Steals data about students, and that data isn't proven to be secure, and isn't proven to stay in the hands of the company. It's disgusting and distasteful.
(2023-03-18) veronica: None of these reviews are lying. I thought maybe they were exaggerating, but no. Its already taken me an hour and it still hasn't loaded. contact your professor before using this ****. "Please wait while we prepare your exam." Don't mess up your exam. Go to your college if you can and take it there. At least you'll be able to get help there maybe. This doesn't deserve a star.
(2023-03-17) Katie: 0 stars, do not recommend. Extension is required for online course, which I would not mind if the application ever worked! Takes forever to connect and log in, issues every single time. Live chat is never helpful.
(2023-03-08) Katherine: This is just too dystopian for a business class. Will remove after the test. What's worse is that I'm at a school with an honor code. Don't they trust us.
(2023-03-01) Aaron: This is so stupid! it takes me 2 hours to get into a 30 min test. It is making my computer glitch like crazy! I already had to take it to get it fixed because this "useful" tool crashed it by not wanting to load right!!! cost me over $100.
(2023-02-25) Ryan: college is a liberal scam.
(2023-02-10) Frederic: Total invasion of privacy, why should this even be required for online classes? It doesn't prevent cheating at all.
(2023-02-10) A: Whomever invented this app doesn't deserve basic human rights. This is a total invasion of privacy and it's disgusting that this service is REQUIRED for online applications in test taking. These app developers are the worst people to ever exist. Avoid classes that use this software at all costs; those Professors are terrible people.
(2023-01-21) christine: Downloaded this for an exam for a college course but it won't load my exam, so it was a FAIL. I would give it a zero if I could but can't. Worthless!
(2023-01-20) Julian: Would choose 0. Forced to install for college. Angry beyond words at the invasiveness.
(2023-01-12) Duke: It wouldn't let me submit this with 0 stars, so 1 star it is. This extension is a total breach of privacy, yet schools still require you to use it. If you are given any kind of alternative to using this extension, TAKE IT.
(2022-11-07) JeVar: I don't understand how to access Connect, Smartbook, or McGraw Hill from this extension. This extension is not giving me any information to help my get started on my class assignments.
(2022-11-05) Diana: What a dumb extension. It can't recognize it's already installed on my browser. It keeps asking me to install the Chrome extension on my Edge browser.
(2022-10-25) Ren: Record everything. I don't have any privacy!!!
(2022-09-19) McKenna: My computer sees it as a virus and coincidently every time I have to get it for an exam it causes my computer to crash and need a factory reset within a few hours. I avoid classes that require it and would rather get 0 points than mess up my computer again.
(2022-09-16) Hunter: Invasive creepy yucky
(2022-07-25) Thomas: Hat alles super funktioniert.
(2022-05-10) Hurd,: If I could give it a zero I would, it's a huge invasion of privacy and at times it forces you to completely scan your room.
(2022-03-31) roberto: Invasive, unnecessary, and corrupt. Shove it up your a**.
(2022-02-17) Flores,: This is an invasion of my privacy I feel very uncomfortable, Microsoft needs to remove this piece of junk of the store. It's just a glorified computer virus.
(2022-02-04) Julius: Feels invasive since its recording every little thing. What gives Proctorio the right in recording students.
(2022-01-22) David: Garbage and invasive. Telling my institution, they shouldn't offer classes with this. Deleting in between tests and suggest you do as well
