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.
Constantly freezing and disconnecting, proctor constantly losing video and audio. Costing me money as until i pass this proctored exam i do not get my raise. Terrible extension.
terrible online! it don't work don't waste your time
Was 30 minutes early waiting for launch button to be accessible, which wasn't until 15 minutes before scheduled time. once i downloaded the psi extension app, my test would not load and it said server is down. tried contacting anyone and never got to someone. this is the worst thing ever! And the fact they recommend this as their best way to get test done.
Horrible loading times, little to no guidance/help with technical difficulty, and couldn't find my camera despite my computer passing the pre screening test. Awful, awful software.
horrible could not log in even though it was 30 minutes before
Unable start my exam after downloading the extension. Also unable to do to live chat. I even logged in 30 minutes before the start time of 8am
DO NOT TAKE UR EXAM ONLINE. this had me waiting 2+hours for a proctor that never got connected to me. They said i was absent for the exam when this trash extension just failed to work and start my exam. I had to call PSI myself to get my exam reimbursed. I will schedule my exams in person from now on.
Junk program that doesn't work. Support is useless. Waited over 3 hours to take a test and was never connected to a proctor.
I agree with every review written. TERRIBLE EXTENSION. complete non sense. I experienced everything the other reviews have posted. logged in 30 minutes early, downloaded extension; "cannot launch exam try again later" for 45 minutes while on hold with PSI.
I cant to launche my test, PSI is not working, I cant take my test
