Failed to verify identification
In Online Exam Maker, there is only one account for each candidate, the account cannot be logged in at the same time in different places. Candidates need to perform face recognition before entering the test, and only those who successfully pass the face recognition can enter the exam. There are many reasons for the failure of the candidate’s identity verification, such as dim light around candidates during face recognition, identity information cannot be matched, etc. Face recognition before the exam can effectively prevent others from taking part in the exam instead of the candidate.
Abnormal exam behaviors
During the exam, the invigilator will observe the candidate’s exam behavior in real time through the video captured by the webcam. Such behaviors in the exam will be paid more attention. Switching screens, look around frequently, etc. The exam system will automatically record the above suspected cheating behaviors.
