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.
If I could give less I truly would.. horrible Horrible experience almost didn't let me take the test and stated couldn't see me but my image was clear on my screen. would not help will simply questions.. no real directions on how to submit your exam just hit exit and then it tells you.. your answers may not be retained.. horrible will not be using this company again and I was seriously considering another certification. it's best if you have a plan room not cats/dogs are anything.. you have to show your phone/ears/wrists/back and front of your hands.. like you are going in to a jail.. surprised they didn't make me undress. you have to take off your glasses and show that plain readers are not smart glasses.. it's absolutely crazy.. never again
Great experience
I had no issues.
Great experience. Beats driving three hours one way.
test program itself was tedious but helpful and easy to navigate, my proctor was unbearable and asked to see more than stated in the test regulations and made me move desks then complained about said desk and made me remove stuff that wasn't mentioned in the rules. I had 20 less minutes on my exam.
proctor making the test unbearable
It suppose to be no star at all. The proctor was responding late when every single second was important. I couldn't even start my examination on time. Already late for scanning my room & than my laptop just hanged on my practice question. When I talked to the tech department & customer service 46 minutes gone. What was the point to start my exam!! Still the technician wanted to connect me. What was the guaranty that it won't happen again? Now I don't know if I can register again with the same payment. I am really very upset today!!
The proctor was what made the test unbearable. I felt like they were intruding on my privacy by having to show them my room more than 10 times and in certain areas. I even explained my office setup. I have a small room with half of it being my daughter's items that she has not moved out yet. I am crammed into a corner with not a lot of room. Nothing was within my reach, which I explained. The orange box was not underneath my desk, it was on the other side, in which I got up with my laptop and showed the proctor it was on the other side of the desk and even kicked it. I was so frustrated by the 30 minute shake down and nit picking, I could not take my test in the concentration that is needed for a test. All in all, the proctor is absolutely horrible experience. Side note: I asked for a different proctor because I felt my privacy was being invaded after 30 minutes of showing my room and in certain areas many times. I was denied. Get new proctors or train them better and this would not be a bad experience.
horrendous to try to install on a mac. thought i wasnt going to be able to access my test because i had no access to proctor and wash past testing time. all the verification takes 30 mins
Better than some programs, worse than others. Crashed twice during my test, but thankfully once you get past the bot replies the real people were good at working around the auto responses and getting me back into my exam.
