What is Remote Proctoring?

Remote Proctoring is the process to monitor (manually or via Artificial Intelligence or both) a candidate and to ensure that the candidate is not involved in any unfair/cheating practice while attempting the test. This is introduced to ensure the sanity of the attempted test.
 
To take an online proctored test from a remote location, candidates need:

A working system with webcam and mic.

Latest version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox.

Windows and Mac operating systems are supported.


Mettl's platform allows you to perform proctoring in the following 3 ways:

Live Manual Proctoring

The candidate can be monitored by a remote proctor in real-time by viewing:

Live Video Feed

Test Screen

There is an option for the proctor to communicate with the candidate through chat. They also have the option to end or pause the test basis their discretion. Proctors can also switch off the sound notifications of a particular chat.

Record and Review

Test administrators can have the access to entire video recording of duration where the candidate is attempting the test. This recorded video can then be reviewed to see if candidate was involved in any unfair means. These recorded videos can be played back in a fast-forwarded way (.5x to 20X speed).

Auto Proctoring

Automated proctoring is the most advanced form of proctoring.  Mettl's AI powered system monitors the live feed of candidates and looks for & highlights any suspicious activity using advanced video and audio analytics.
