What is an online proctored exam?

An online proctored exam is a remote assessment where a test taker’s desktop, webcam, and microphone are monitored during a timed exam to ensure test integrity and prevent cheating. This monitoring can be done by a human proctor watching the exam in real-time, or by software that records and analyses the data for later review.
