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.
The PSI remote test went great! The proctor was so helpful and I really hope I passed my ccma exam.
I love the PSI remote Test.
PSI timed out during my exam.
Excellent, extremely helpful!
I love the experience the only thing that was frustrating was they kept asking to scan my room but other than that I had a great experience
i had a very bad experiences and stressful day, they need to recontract their site because it's very bad and annoying people can be in the misted of their exam and the connection will shutdown, your exams paused leaving you stranded ,frustrating and i really don't like the fact that they have to all your time to fix it back psi really have to do more and make life very easy for people
Long wait times for proctor; for verification; for tech support. I had to do the environment verification over half a dozen times, and the system kicked me out of the verification process and the test itself repeatedly. Also, do not bother to take the exam remotely if you have a desktop- they will not let you test if you cannot show a 360 degree view of the room, along with ceilings and floors. Good luck if you cannot move your computer or shove the camera under your desk. They don't care. It took me 2 1/2 hours to get the test underway.
I enjoyed using the PSI it was very easy.
easy to get started, but I'm so incredibly upset about this testing experience. I took the CBCS exam, remote proctored at my home, just last week. My dog was laying down not far from my test area, they saw him on the camera, and asked if he's a service animal. I replied, " no, he's not, but he's elderly and he'll bark excessively if he's closed up in another room." They responded that it would be ok, as long as I didn't talk to him while taking the test. (He slept quietly the entire time) Tonight, taking the CEHRS exam, same exact setup, and they notice my dog in the same spot as last time. I explained everything, that they allowed it just last week, and said, no animals allowed. OK, cool. #1, this incredibly important rule was not listed in the other rules posted before starting the exam. #2, if this is such an important rule, make sure that it's adhered to everytime, if you had been as strict last time, I would have known to make plans ahead of time for my dog to go to a friend's house or something. Putting my 15 year old dog with canine advanced cognitive decline (aka doggy dementia) EXTREMELY STRESSED him out. Since there are strict rules to have no other people there, my husband had taken my daughter out while I was testing. No phones allowed so I can't call him to have him out and take him somewhere. My poor dog barked for an HOUR AND 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT, locked away in my bedroom. It was so stressful, and I could barely concentrate on the exam. Add it to the list of rules if animals aren't allowed. I would give no stars if that was an option.
Horrible service and really confusing ways to exit that make you question if you even did the exam
