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.
Worse Proctored exam I have ever used! Booted me out of my exam and robbed me of my remained time, Had to relaunch and time expired before submitting exam. Highly disappointed with this platform.
Very tedious process navigating, had to call help desk then to get to proctor and go through that, it took almost 45 minutes. Must be an easier process.
Test was easy, but the Proctor took longer than the test. Instructing me lift every single item, remove my sweater, lift my sleeves....the worst was not being able to position myself to get comfortable.
Great app. no too many stress, easy step and clear direction
Easy to use, however, very sensitive. I was reading the practice test questions out loud when I was given a warning for simply reading out loud. I was unaware that that was not allowed. After answering all the test questions, I adjusted my sitting postion a tad bit when I was given a final warning for "moving out of view of the camera", which was completely false. Got through the test without actually getting my test teminated because of simple body movements/sounds.
It was easy and simple to use PSI. No, I dont know if my exam was officially over because when I asked them for final instructions they just told me to end session.
After my third time attempting to take this exam, I was able to complete it. The online version is a complete dumpster fire. The proctors over the computer are not even remotely helpful. I was on my 25th question this time when my proctor told me they would be pausing my exam. They let me know it was because they were unable to see my screen (screen sharing). I noticed my camera light was off, I asked if they could resend the request to share the screen. I received the same answer with every question I asked from that point on " our technical team can help you best". However, I told the tech team what was happening and she kept trying to get me to "fix my camera" I told her multiple times it was not my camera, and I just needed to simply share my screen again. She insured me i was in fact incorrect and that she would help me, after twenty mins of her not listening and me not getting any answers at all from the proctor, I signed off and signed back on, wouldn't you know I was sent a request to share my screen. Luckily, I was matched with a separate proctor at that moment. The rest of the test went well. But between this time and the first two times I'm certain NHA does not care that PSI causes so much stress to their applicants during exam time. They've been told over and over in these reviews, and after five conversations with them on the phone, seems there's no improvement being implemented. I am worried my anxiety increased and I may have choked on some of the answers. Super disappointed, but until NHA demands better then nothing will change.
it was cool.
Extremely disappointed i was stopped in the middle of my exam which caused me not to finish my exam and the technician took forever to respond that was very so please i need accommodation to retake my exam otherwise i will report you guys
Very informative and easy to navigate and use.
