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.
This was a terrible experience. I did what someone else did and mouthed something to myself during the practice test because I had no idea how to exit and exit sounds like it's going to delete all data. There were no clear instructions on that. I also was told to remove my hand from my face, when my had was kind of backwards. I was resting in a comfortable position while doing a math problem. My lips were not moving. I didn't feel like I could concentrate knowing I was being watched for every little thing. I also had connectivity issues as someone else had said. I was not fond of the whole test either because there was so much my class did not cover. If I would have known it was going to be like this, I would have invested in a different path.
Connectivity issues. Did not give me a confirmation of completion so I was confused.
I don't like this app
I did not enjoy the fact i couldn't read the questions out loud to myself after the environment check. I got warning for saying to myself "how do i move on from the practice questions" instead of texting it into the chat. I didn't like the fact i couldn't cover my mouth while thinking. I have really bad test anxiety and it's hard to sit still and not touch my face. The entire time i was taking the test i was hyper fixed on not saying anything out loud so my test wouldn't get terminated.
I had issues connecting at first, I was told a few times I could not talk to myself, have my hands near my face, and I guess I moved and they could not see my face, I often repeat words back to myself and got in trouble for that. Overall this gave me the worst anxiety ever.
It was okay, very standard.
Had a few issues connecting my microphone, another that everything else went smoothly. Great experience in using the proctor.
No problems at all. Easy to figure out once I was able to download.
It was ok, kept having technical issues. i loved the experience though.
some of the rules and guidelines required for this test are unnecessary
