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.
like most reviews I have the same complaints . smh worse experience ever when I am the one PAYING for the test and the test is to not be taken lightly but yet we are presented with a horrible experience smh . DO BETTER !
The PSI exam did not provide me with a calculator and the number of questions that I had left. I feel that if these two were included, it would have improved my experience.
Overall fine experience until my exam crashed within the last 2 questions sending me into a panic. Otherwise great experience, but yeah definitely scary
Was pretty bad experience. My internet was stable but it kept kicking me off the test when i was trying to scan my environment with the proctor. I didn't have anything that could be used for cheating but the proctor made me move boxes clear across the room even though they were not by me. It took 45 minutes to an hour to get through the proctor check prior to me completing my test. It would be much better to take it in person.
I would put in negative stars if I could. My proctor was rude, made me rip up the blank paper I didn't even use, didn't let me have my medication on my desk, and made me take off my toys and books unrelated to my exam off of my shelves, got mad that I had a heater in my room, issued me a warning when I was reading the question IN MY OWN ROOM. Made me take off the water bottle and candle on my shelf, and got suspicious on whether or not there was a TV in my room and made me prove it when I said that it was the room next door. If I had to do it again I would have done it in person. Proctor was so horrible I had to put in a negative review.
I had no issues with the proctoring part of the exam, everything went smoothly.
Just horrible!!! just the check in alone was longer than my test, the proctor I had kept asking me to do the same thing over and over again in repetition mode was so frustrated!!! then before test was release I ask a simple question the person couldn't even answer that.
I choose no stars if i could. It took about an hour to start and to have exceptional service and environment approval by the proctor. It was stressful and i will never complete an exam thru this site ever again. I will from now on go the site if there is one close by. It is truly worth just traveling to one. I would not recommend using online. My experience was just awful! i covered my mouth by frustration and was told it was in violation; I acknowledged my cord came out of my laptop and with no regards after i kneeled to plug it back in it was a violation; my lanyard was removed from my neck for violation and had to show that my glasses were not a smart device. I can tell you now, if you are reading this and decide to continue using online, they will watch you like a hawk and make sure you have nothing at arm's reach and always be in view of the camera with GREAT signal. My experience was awful! the proctor was very rude. There were folks walking around talking to people in the area i was in but was not in the way of my testing and was not speaking to me nor being loud and proctor told me to not have conversations during testing. LIKE, HORRIBLE SERVICE AND RUDE PROCTOR. I am glad i a not the only one who experience was as bad as mine.
Took 30 minutes to star the proctoring exam, proctor was rude and picked with me many times throughout test. Did not allow me to BREATHE, move nor use my paper and pencil without threatening to stop my exam. WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!
WORST PROCTORING SYSTEM EVER! Had to go through my room scanning process. My exam was set to start @ 2 and could not start until 2:30 because of this. Then when I needed help, was completely ghosted by my proctor!
