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.
very convenient to do from home.
System kept kicking me out of the verification process for half an hour.
THE ABSOLUTE WORSE SIGHT EVER. PAY THE EXTRA MONEY AND TAKE IT ELSE WHERE.
Convenient and easy to use, thank you for offering practicality.
Not Bad, easily installed and used
Did not have any issues at all.
The system kicked me out 3 times and had to restart the varification process over and over. Very anoied with process of resuming test.
I did not have any issues whatsoever!
Absolutely horrible my exam crashed 4 times they kept blaming it on my internet when it was not my internet. It appears be several people saying the same thing. I spoke to 5 different technicians that stated the same thing; the crazy part is I took PearsonVue PTCE exam the very same day and passed it using the exact same computer same set up and I did not have any problems so I know it was not my computer. After the 6th attempt, I go to finish my test guess what they never paused my exam...I returned to an exam that only had 20 minutes remaining yet I have over 70 questions left to take...what a waste of money. I will explain of this to my training center who paid for my exam to inquire about them gaining their money back and since I passed the PTCB exam. I hope they can have NHA get their money back from PSI...because I am going to take this up with BBB. One of the technical support representatives were out right rude. It is insane how they treated me...our should say some of the students below...its not right
exam crashed in the middle of taking it which was no fault of my connection. proctor was unable to answer questions on why this was happening and help line was no help either
