With the rise of online education and remote learning, it has become essential to address the challenge of cheating in exams. Online exam systems have developed various features to tackle this issue head-on. From remote proctoring technologies to plagiarism detection tools, these functionalities play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of online assessments. In this article, we will explore several key features offered by online exam systems that effectively prevent exam malpractice and ensure fairness for all test takers.

Features of Anti-cheating in Online Exam System

Intelligent Anti-Cheat Detection

Online Exam Maker contains an ultra-powerful intelligent anti-cheat monitoring module that can effectively identify and prevent test-taking behavior. It is capable of detecting cheating behaviors such as suspected cheating gestures, unrecognized faces, face matching to a test not taken by the person himself, sound emitted during the test, and the presence of multiple faces in the camera. The entire cheating detection process is completed by the system, without the need to invest in manpower.

Face Recognition

The Face Recognition in Online Exam Maker prevents others from taking the exam instead of the candidate by comparing the candidate’s photo. When this feature is turned on, face recognition is required for all candidates when entering the exam. Only candidates who have successfully passed the face recognition can enter the examination.

Restrictions on switching screens

To prevent unauthorized activities and maintain exam integrity, Online Exam Maker now incorporate a screen locking feature. This functionality locks the test-taker’s screen, restricting access to other applications or websites during the exam. By eliminating the temptation and opportunity for cheating, the screen locking feature enhances the fairness and reliability of online assessments. Test-takers can focus solely on the exam, promoting a secure and controlled testing environment.

Anti-cheating for test questions

Features in Online Exam Maker such as randomized question selection, question shuffling, and option shuffling ensure a fair and unbiased assessment environment. Randomized question selection prevents predictability, as each test-taker receives a unique set of questions. Moreover, question and option shuffling rearranges the order, making it difficult for candidates to share answers.

Full Screen Mode Exam

To prevent candidates from switching screens to look for answers, connecting external devices, remote support, etc., Online Exam Maker provides an anti-cheating feature for full-screen mode exams. With this feature turned on, candidates need to turn off communication, remote and translation software as well as external devices and other tools that may be used for cheating when entering the exam. Only after the exam is over can the candidate exit the full-screen mode.
