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.
Was well done and easy to use. The proctor was nice.
Overall a good experience.
I needed to take this test at home unfortunately, but i will not being testing online again. It was very frustrating and time consuming to get into the test. It also gave me testing anxiety because i was interrupted the whole time and couldn't focus. I didn't know what I could or couldn't do until they threatened to kick me out of the test which was already difficult to get into. Overall not a good experience for me personally.
It's not the worst but I do feel like they're extremely excessive in ensuring what you show. I had to move rooms because my partner behind me was sleeping. I understand why, but if he is frame and sleeping in bed while I'm at my desk how am I going to cheat? Not very accommodating for those without large homes and with children. Also I have ADHD and fidget a lot by covering my mouth, involuntarily, and even that was an issue despite proving I was alone and had zero materials with me at all and was looking straight at the camera the entire time. Could be less aggressive overall tbh. I would have preferred to just go in person at that point lol
They took forever to give me my test after showing my whole section and I started after my test time so it's definitely frustrating.
got kicked out 3 times, each time proctors asked for more stuff, even asked me to turn off security camera monitor, which shut down my whole systems. smh too many technical issues
I gave it two stars for how convenient it is to be able to take the test from anywhere and not having to go to a testing site. Unfortunately, I did get kicked out of the exam FOUR times and had to relaunch the sire and go through all the steps again to continue with the test. very frustrating.
It wasn't bad but I did get kicked out of the test and had to re-launch the exam and go through the steps again.
It wasn't bad for my first on-line test, but I was not able to do the survey part at the end for some reason.
it was fine but I was unabble to do the survey at the end.
