Please read this before exam day. These rules match what the Proctor Guard desktop app monitors.
System requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Computer | Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or an Apple Silicon Mac, with Proctor Guard installed |
| Display | One screen only. Unplug any extra monitors, as blank or mirrored screens also count. |
| RAM | 8GB or above |
| Webcam | A working laptop camera. Allow the Camera permission when asked. |
| Microphone | A working microphone. Allow the Microphone permission when asked. |
| Internet | A stable connection to the exam admin server |
| Power | Plug in the charger. Do not rely on the battery alone. |
The following are not supported during the exam: dual monitors, screen sharing (Zoom or Teams share, OBS, remote desktop), virtual cameras that block the real webcam, VPN tools that break the connection, and running the exam on a phone or tablet only.
Before you start: prepare your place
- Sit alone in a quiet room and ask others not to enter or talk nearby.
- Position your laptop so that your face, both hands, and the area immediately around your keyboard are visible within the camera frame. Sit at a distance of approximately 1.5-2 feet from the screen. Avoid sitting too close, as this narrows the camera's field of view and may prevent your desk and surrounding area from being monitored properly.
- Use a plain, light or white background behind you, such as a wall or a sheet. Avoid busy posters, mirrors, or another person in view.
- Sit at a desk or table, with the laptop camera at eye level.
- Keep good lighting on your face. Face a window or a lamp, and avoid strong backlight.
- Place water, a pen or pencil, and blank rough paper on the desk before the exam, so that you do not need to leave the camera view.
- Close all other apps, such as chat, browsers, games, and cloud sync pop-ups.
- Don't sit in a noisy place, such as near a TV, music, or a family conversation.
- Don't use headphones, earbuds, or Bluetooth headsets.
- Don't keep books, notes, a second phone, a tablet, a smartwatch or any other object near you.
- Don't start the exam with a second monitor connected.
During the exam: Do's
- Stay in the camera frame, with your face clearly visible the whole time. Briefly touching your face is usually fine, but covering your face, the camera or leaving your seat is not.
- Look toward the exam screen most of the time.
- When you are writing on your rough sheets, ensure your face doesn't go out of the frame.
- Use only the number keys (0–9) needed for numerical answers. Letter keys, shortcuts, and most other keys will lock the exam, and you will have to sign in again.
- Stay in the Proctor Guard window, in fullscreen. Do not use Alt-Tab, do not minimise the window, and do not open other programs.
- Keep the room silent. Do not talk, and make sure no one speaks near you.
- Use one login only. If you sign in on another computer or browser, this session will be closed.
- Keep your pen near the desk. Do not hold it right in front of your face for long periods, as it can look like another face to the camera.
- If the network drops briefly, stay in the app. Your answers are saved locally and will sync when the connection returns.
- When you finish, wait until the data upload is complete before closing the app, your exam will auto-submit right after the upload.
During the exam: Don'ts
| Don't | Why |
|---|---|
| Leave your seat or walk away | Your face leaves the camera view, which causes a warning or a lock |
| Switch to another app or browser | Loss of focus or fullscreen can lock the exam |
| Connect a second monitor | This always locks the exam |
| Share your screen, use remote desktop, or record the screen (OBS, etc.) | This always locks the exam |
| Press letter keys or Ctrl / Cmd shortcuts | This locks the exam, as only number keys are allowed |
| Take screenshots or try to print | This is treated as a violation |
| Talk, or let others talk in the room | This causes a microphone warning |
| Hold a second phone or tablet or any other object in view | This causes an object or phone warning |
| Sign in on another device while this exam is open | The previous portal is logged out |
| Cover the camera, or turn off the microphone | The exam may pause or show a warning |
Allowed on the desk
- Laptop and charger
- Pen or pencil
- Blank rough paper, for rough work
- Water bottle
Quick checklist
- Charger plugged in
- Only one display connected
- Quiet room, sitting alone
- Well-lit face, plain background
- Water, pen, and blank paper on the desk
- Camera and microphone permissions allowed
- All other apps closed
- Username and password ready
- Understood that only number keys are allowed
If something goes wrong
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| A warning banner appears | Fix the issue, such as bringing your face back into the frame, keeping silence, or removing an object, and then continue |
| The exam is locked, or asks you to sign in again | Sign in again on this computer. Your progress is usually saved. |
| A message says you have signed in on another device | Only one portal is allowed, so continue on the newest login |
| The camera or phone disconnects | Follow the on-screen reconnect steps, and try not to leave your seat |
| Upload after submitting | Do not close the window until the upload is complete, or use Retry upload |
Monitoring events are only signals for human review. They are not an automatic verdict of cheating. Please follow these instructions so that the exam runs smoothly and false warnings are less likely.
