AI product readSecure locked-down browser environment for taking PSI online proctored exams
Enables secure, monitored online exam delivery by restricting browser capabilities (tab creation, window creation, extension enabling), capturing desktop/webcam/microphone, and providing real-time proctor communication during test sessions
User installs the extension, then launches a PSI proctored exam session. The extension activates a secure check-in flow: (1) system hardware/software check, (2) identity verification with ID photo, (3) agreements acceptance, (4) camera/microphone permission, (5) start test. During the exam, the extension locks down the browser (no new tabs/windows/extensions), streams webcam/screen to proctor, provides live chat with proctor, and supports break requests. After exam completion, the extension auto-closes.

- Target users
- Test-takers using PSI's online proctored examination platform / Candidates for professional certification exams, licensure tests, and other remotely proctored assessments
- The background worker and UI JS files are heavily minified, limiting ability to trace exact authentication flow logic
- Cannot fully determine if the OAuth2 flow authenticates the test-taker directly or uses service-to-service tokens after the user authenticates on PSI's website
- The externally_connectable localhost:50161 pattern suggests integration with a local PSI application, but the local app's role is unclear
MonetizationNo paid features detected
No evidence of paid features, subscriptions, premium tiers, or in-app purchases within the extension. All keyword hits for 'checkout' refer to exam completion (e.g., 'This test is completed. PSI Chrome Extension will auto-close in {{countdown}}'), not e-commerce payments. All 'pro' matches are fragments of 'proctor' terminology. No billing, Stripe, payment platform, upgrade, or premium feature references found anywhere in the source. PSI's exam scheduling is a separate business service, not gated within this extension.

- Reason
- The extension requires users to have a scheduled exam through PSI's platform. It communicates with PSI's OAuth2 authentication endpoints (hydra.bridge.psiexams.com/oauth2/auth, /oauth2/token) and auth token services (mps.bridge.psiexams.com/api/auth/token). The check-in flow includes identity verification (ID confirmation, photo match, reservation match). The extension itself has no login UI; authentication occurs on PSI's exam platform, and the extension operates as a secured proctoring environment once the exam session is initiated.
Honestly the worst test i have ever taken! Take this at an actual PSI testing site! The proctor is ridiculous about your testing environment...wanted to see under my bed...and wanted me to remove my TV! Which i did not do!! Many of the test questions were worded wrong and the answers' given were not always right one question spelled infant wrong!! Glad its over!!
This is my second attempt. Leaving comments since I didn’t get a chance to do at first. This time the experience was better overall, however it doesn’t change the fact that I had to spend additional money because of the initial technical failure. While the second attempt was an improvement, the lack of support and accountability during my first experience is unacceptable. I hope they improve their system and customer support so others don't have to go through the same situation.
I completely agree with all the comments. I wouldn't recommend taking another exam using this software, at all.
Worst experience ever. I have never used a software that gave me such technical difficulties. Would not recommend. I wish to use literally any other platform to be proctored for an exam other than this one.
Simple to use but had some technical difficulties.
If you can avoid ever taking an exam using this platform then do it. It was 4am as I started my exam and an hour and a half in, it disappears with no warning. This thing had be crying around 5:30am because of God knows what. Finally though, after like 15 minutes, I was let back into my exam but I had to do the whole scan the room and wait for a new proctor process all over again which they took out of my total time. I strongly dislike whoever created this platform and I hope it gets taken down. So much added stress and for what... I agree with the other people writing a review that if we could all give 0 stars, we would.
If I could give zero stars, I would. I had an absolutely horrendous experience. I have paid for my test twice now, so $230 gone for nothing. I installed and reinstalled the extension, closed chrome, opened chrome, was on the phone with tech support, did not help at all. They were pushy and impatient. Wouldn't even wait for a page to load, tell me 3 things to do in a process and then in the next breath ask me how'd it go. The extension itself is absolute garbage, tech support did nothing to help, I was counted absent after 30 minutes of being instructed to install the extension over and over and over. I also tried from my iphone, same exact thing. I will NEVER give PSI my money EVER again. I not only have myself to certify, I have staff to direct to either NHA or ASCP, and I will never suggest NHA again. Absolutely horrendous, absolutely garbage.
Worst experience EVER!!!!!! The sponsor was miserable and the proctor kept bothering me during testing but had no solutions. The sponsor is either a miserable woman with no social life or a man who hasn't seen a woman in years! Either way this was the WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!!!!
Had me go through the "checking environment" twice. The first proctor must have logged off so I had to do it all over again. By that time, after I had to remove quite literally everything, even water away from me, it was 30-40 minutes past my test start time and I was extremely frustrated and not even in a good head space to test anymore. Was not set up for success with this proctor site. Just pure frustration
Using this extension was definitely nerve wracking with the connectivity issues raised my level of doubt of passing this exam. However, the technical support was able quick to assist and answer all the questions I have. Thank you, Melvin. But I do hope for this extension to improve a lot.
