You can enable one or all of the following proctoring settings to ensure that your test is plagiarism-free.
Disable the Copy and Paste feature in the code editor
When this setting is enabled, a candidate cannot copy the code (for example, from the Web or a local computer) and paste it into the code editor.
We recommend that you enable this setting if your test contains a question that requires the candidate to write code.
Important: By default, the candidates are not allowed to copy the problem statements in the test interface.
Take candidate snapshot during the test
When this option is enabled, candidates must give permission to enable the webcam on their computers. If they do not, they cannot take the test.
When the test is live, we take a snapshot of the candidate at random intervals. A thumbnail preview of the webcam will be displayed on the bottom right of the screen, which indicates that the candidates are being monitored during the test.
When should this option be enabled?
Enable this option for candidates who are taking the test remotely. Ensure that you inform them in advance that they need a webcam to be able to take the test.
Do not enable this option in the following scenarios:
- If you know that the candidate does not have/have access to a webcam.
- For universities where the tests are taken in the Computer labs because most computers in the lab may not have a webcam.
Restrict candidate to the full-screen mode during the test
You can enable this to prevent candidates from cheating. When this is enabled, candidates can take the test in full-screen mode only. A warning is displayed on the screen if they exit full-screen mode during the test.
Logout on leaving the test environment
This setting allows you to set the number of times a candidate can move out of the test environment. The ideal number of warnings is 5, which is set by default. You can change this if required.
When this is enabled, the system gives the candidate a warning each time they move out of the test environment. The following actions include but are not limited to actions that are considered as ‘moving out of the test environment’:
- Switching tabs
- Switching windows
- Opening new applications on the computer including system popups like anti-virus notifications, Lync notifications, Skype notifications etc.
Important: Moving out of the test environment to close notifications is also counted as leaving the test environment.
Restrict test access for certain IP addresses
IP addresses identify specific computers. Restricting IP addresses and subnets allows you to contain the test-taking to a single location. When these restrictions are enabled for a test and a candidate tries to log in from an IP that is outside the restricted range, a warning is displayed.
Universities use this to ensure that the test is taken only from their computer labs. You can also enable this when you invite candidates to take the test from your office premises.
Important: Do not enable this for remote tests.
