ExamSoft remote testing guide exam help

ExamSoft remote testing combines Examplify exam delivery with optional ExamID and ExamMonitor integrity tools selected by the institution. ExamSoft support describes ExamID as software that authenticates identity with the camera at the start of the exam. ExamMonitor proctors assessments by using screen recording, camera, and microphone throughout the exam. ExamSoft's ExamMonitor product page states that ExamMonitor digitally observes exam-takers with video and audio monitoring during the entire exam, is compatible with iPads and modern computers, and requires ExamID.

For exam-makers, ExamSoft support says institutions can enable ExamID, ExamMonitor, or both when posting an assessment. ExamID validates exam-taker identity based on photos; a baseline photo is taken during a mock exam, and a new photo is taken before the exam starts. If the photos do not match, the exam-taker can still take the exam, but an incident is flagged for institutional review. When ExamMonitor is selected, ExamID is also selected, and instructors set required proctoring options such as scheduled date, time limit, and proctoring type.

For exam-takers, the workflow starts before exam day: confirm minimum system requirements, install and register Examplify, know the exam password and download date, choose a well-lit quiet space, connect permitted camera or microphone equipment, and understand the exam-day rules. ExamSoft states that internet is needed to download the exam and start an ExamID assessment. During an ExamMonitor-enabled exam, the camera light may be on and the video feed appears in a monitoring tab. Examplify automatically saves work, and after submission the answer file and monitoring files must upload successfully before closing Examplify. ExamSoft also states that ExamMonitor records locally during the exam without requiring Wi-Fi, then uploads footage for AI analysis, professional review if selected, and final institutional review.
