Online examination system has been developing for a long time and many powerful anti-cheating features of the online examination system have also been developed. Let’ have a summary of the powerful anti-cheating features of the online examination system in recent years.
Candidate Authentication
The first step of a candidate taking an exam in an online examination system is to verify his/her identity. A candidate must pass the face recognition process to begin the exam. The face of a candidate must match the photo uploaded beforehand by the administrator. Otherwise, he/she will not be able to take the exam.
Remote Proctoring
1.Camera surveillance
Camera surveillance is provided by the online examination system. When it is set, the candidates will be proctored by the webcam during the exam. There is no need for physical proctor and photos of candidates will be captured during the exam which can be viewed by the administrator after the exam to see if there are any abnormal behaviors of the candidates.
2.Live proctoring
The exam can also be proctored by teachers during an online examination, which will greatly restore the offline proctored exam scenario.
3.Intelligent anti-cheating monitoring
If the intelligent anti-cheating monitoring is set up, the online examination system will detect any abnormal behaviors. If multiple faces, face mismatch or little moves of candidates, such as bowing or turning their heads, is detected by the system, the system will hand in the paper automatically therefore the candidate will not be able to carry on the exam. Also, the system will detect the sound of the exam environment, and if the sound sensitivity is reached, the paper will be handed in.
No Copying or Pasting
During an online examination, candidates are not allowed to copy the questions of the exam to search for the answer; also candidates are not able to paste the answer during the exam.
Full Screen Mode
Candidates will enter a full screen mode while taking an exam, and he/she will not be able to exit the full screen mode until the paper is handed in. Therefore, the candidates will not be able to switch the pages to look for answers.
Screen Switching Limit and Interruption Limit
Screen switching and interruption limit can be set up in online examination system. Therefore, the times that candidates are able to switch the page and interrupt the exam will be limited. And the papers will be submitted by the system as long as the times is reached.
Exam Timer for Each Question

Candidates must finish each question during the time duration of each question and if the candidates are unable to attempt the question during the time duration, the system will move on to the next question.
