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.
After completing all the steps to allow PSI to proctor my exam, it still doesn't work. I have been on hold for 20 minutes waiting for tech support. This is beyond ridiculous and companies do not need to use this service to proctor the exam.
This is a terrible website I had an 8:00 pm appt to take my exam I hit Launch but nothing happens. Where and who is my proctor? This is very poor.
I've been waiting to take my exam and it is not launching.
I have been logged in for over an hour. Could not launch the exam until 30 mins prior to start time. I followed the instructions for day of exam and never got to launch the actual exam. Poor system!
This is the second time I've tried to take my exam. The first time the computer version of my macbook air was too old. Now the PSI Bridge online proctoring extension DOES NOT WORK. It's been 3 months and I still can't take my exam. All of these reviews are true, the extension doesn't work, and it's horribly organized. Such a waste of time and money. I missed my exam AGAIN. IT MAKES YOU PUT 1 STAR BUT THIS IS NEGATIVE 5 STARTS. 0 STARS. NEVER AGAIN. WORST TESTING COMPANY IN EXISTENCE.
could not launch my exam. terrible extension and when i dialed in for support they hung up on me.
Very difficult and caused a lot of problems. I was unable to do my exam.
I have many experience taking online testing with webcams and lockdown browser and this was 1000% the worst program you can download. Slow (You will not start your exam on time! I and many others were an hour and a half late to start an Exam), weird requirements (can't even take a sip of water without them flagging you), slow, slow slow, unclear instructions, system just looks outdated, not a nice experience to take a test. Just take your test in person if the other option is PSI online. You will save so much time.
This was such an awful experience. Not only did it make me an hour late to my exam, once I finally was able to get in, it booted me out. I tried to relaunch it multiple times, reached out to customer service and live chat and nobody could help me. It was incredibly frustrating and made this an awful testing experience. Will be taking my test in person.
Does not work, missed my exam
