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.
Awful technical difficulties. I had to show my desk so many times and I had to explain I was using my Desktop computer that has a webcam pre installed which made it 10 x much more difficult to grab the screen and show around. I did it so many times it shut off and I had to get my laptop and redo the whole process again. To say that it flustered me beyond belief is an understatement. It made me so much more nervous about the test.
Huge technical difficulties in the beginning causing me to start my exam 45 minutes late. The proctor was not very helpful and I had to repeatedly request assistance. The verification process was ridiculous. I had to show my desk multiple times as well as lift everything off of it. This whole process is really stressful to go through right before an exam. It also was not clear that gum was not allowed and i received a warning half way through the test. Overall not a great experience, I will just go in person next time.
Horrible experience. I felt bullied by my proctor. I was asked to show my desk at least 6 times, and I had to call out the proctor on it. I was beyond frustrated right before my exam, and I couldn't think straight. The aggravation continued, and I started my exam 45 minutes after I was scheduled. I was asked to remove my trash can from underneath my desk (it was on a corner, btw). I asked for a supervisor, and the proctor told me I can call tech support for an additional charge
Had no issues with my proctor. The verification process was lengthy and detailed but I had no issues with that. The proctor was great.
My proctor did her job very well. The hard part was biting my lip for 3 hours. I think and read out loud {softly} because it helps to hear myself and talk things through. I was unable to cover my mouth with my hand or move my lips. Lol
The Proctor was very nice and very helpful.
My exam proctor was the worse, so inconvenient
You guys are the worst. Literally stressed me out even before the exam over nothing. I had to restart my session 3 times because the test froze and every time some proctor would tell me to remove things that wouldn't interfere with the integrity of the exam.
I had no issue with the proctor or taking the test.
horrible experience. Proctor was unkind. my test froze 3 times- which took away from test time.
