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 proctor was actually okay, the website went down more than half way through so I had a small panic attack, I was able to get back into the website and finish my test eventually.
not bad for performing the test but kind of annoying having to confirm everything is out of reach then stating i cannot have a piece of paper then said i can but a napkin on the desk needed to be moved. and needed evidence of my cell phone on camera was a little excessive if ya ask me.
The proctors are trash. Never had a test that didn't require proctors to not speak. That is unprofessional to be chatting the whole time and not speaking. Its a delay in process. You can tell they aren't even at there desk the whole time , due to the 5 min delay for a response. I also dont see why I cant drink water or wear a scarf in my own damn home . Like HUH ?!
very simple and easy to use!
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE COMMUNICATION, FIRST PROCTOR RANDOMLY TRANSFERRED ME, SECOND PROCTOR ACCUSED ME OF SPEAKING WITH "SOMEONE" , VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT "GETTING IN TROUBLE" THAN FOCUSING ON MY TEST ONLY REASON THEY GOT A STAR IS BC I HAD TO PUT ONE
The proctoring is horrible because they keep pausing or saying they are unable to see the screen
Very rude keep bothering me while I was taking my test and keep flagging me because I was praying over my test after he/she made me feel so uncomfortable with the process of the tests will not recommend taking online with this proctoring. Just keep interrupting my test with nonsense like take my hand from my mouth or don't speak out loud so you mean to tell me that I can't pray or read the questions out loud to myself. Need to look into the people you hire to be proctoring on ya'll site can cause people to fail and get side traced from test not cool. overall 0/10 had me keep showing my desk when it was completely clear all but ear buds trouble experience with my test.
Extremely over cautious to the point where it hindered my own comfort and peace of mind as I was taking the exam. I use my desk as a storage area because there is a large compartment underneath it, and that's also where I wanted to take my exam. The proctor wanted me to remove everything I had stored under my desk (none of which was test related) in order to take the exam, which simply would have been far too time-consuming. The proctor then ordered me to take the exam on my bed instead, which is unprofessional and uncomfortable in my opinion. I then had to go as far as moving furniture to convince the proctor that I will not be using it to cheat. I had several issues with connection and had to redo the environment check 3 times which affected my concentration, wasted time, and caused me stress. I also had to resort to using my phone hotspot to take the exam because of connection issues, despite the fact that I've never had this problem before using the service. The questions were very difficult to navigate through, and the "bookmark" option was practically useless as I had to individually scroll through 180 questions to find the few that I bookmarked anyway, which defeats the purpose of distinguishing those few questions.
i would recommend at a facility next time. proctor is rude and will give u random warnings that'll state your test will be ended all because of you not being able to be a human being and use your eyes to look. also having to destroy my workplace office all because they swear someone is going to cheat... do better. proctor was dude and slow in the brain. took up almost an hour before starting my exam because they have no common sense
Ran into some technical difficulties with the proctor being able to see my screen. But they got a technical representative to join right away and resolve the issue. They were very thorough when checking my environment for compliance which I can appreciate.
