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 horrible experience I have never been treated like a criminal before and I have taken an online test before but never to this extent, you weren't even allowed to move your lips without getting a warning, which I am sorry that is absolutely absurd. Hopefully I passed the exam as I don't want to take with this company again and my University will know about this. This was unacceptable to be treated like we were going to steal something. I see a lot of people had issues with the way the test is administered. I am working in a very small space and I had to move everything out from under my desk which was also insane.
I was unable to take break for bathroom. I got knock off the sight and waisted time redoing over enviroment camera
The Proctor stated my voice and video went out 3x on their end, however my computer showed they we both working fine. I had to leave the test and reenter and restart the process 3x. This took over an hour of my testing time. Highly unproductive testing service.
My experience with this during a especially difficult test was that it crashed and I lost liek 5-10 minutes of my exam.
Went really well.
IT WAS OK HAD TO SHOW MY ENVIROMENT LIKE 3 TIMES JUST TO MOVE ON, OTHER THEN THAT ITS WENT WELL
The exam went well. I just didn't like the layout of it; clicking or typing the answer, then having to scroll down to the bottom to go to the next question, horrible layout.
this was a terrible testing experience
absolutely unhappy with my experience I had to have 2 different people go through pretty much my entire house, told me I couldn't have bracelets or rings on this place is a joke and quite rude you guys have no consideration for other peoples situations and you think everyone is the same. We aren't plus they wouldn't allow any form of notes which is ridiculous considering I can't remember every medical term or very medical acronym there is over a almost 2 year school period, I don't have a photogenic memory. I think notes should be allowed and they shouldn't force you to have nothing around you no drinks or food or pets like everyone has a pet now of days you guys need to get your act together this is just wrong to treat people as if they are criminals that's exactly how I felt like a criminal not allowed to have anything. i Just had to take my second test on the 26th it was ridiculous how they make you feel like a criminal you can't have jewelry or your pets which is mind boggling considering its my pets they aren't going to help me except to keep me calm. can't have any food or drinks which is just stupid that stuff isn't going to help me either on a test. they need to fix their testing standards its just uncalled for and needs to be amended
The people that are watching are very extreme. I showed my desk like 10 times before I could begin the exam. The proctor wasn't that helpful. Every time I asked a question they responded with I can't help you with that may give answers on the test. The questions were not exam related. I was also kicked out while taking it which made me even more nervous to take. The tech support also didn't help much. The experience was a lot and distracted me from the exam as if I wasn't already nervous to take it. I hope I did well! Maybe get more supportive Proctors that don't make it a hassle before this big exam.
