ExamRoom.AI

ExamRoom.AI for Android will allow the phone to act as a second surveillance camera in expensive online exams. This app works with its web portal to enable what the developer calls Exam360.

How the Dual-Camera System Functions

The setup requires both a computer and your Android phone. The camera on your computer captures your face and what’s in front of you, while the mobile app asks you to position your phone to point at your keyboard, hands, and the area around you. With a dual-feed, your room is in 360-degree view of proctors, both AI and humans. The app communicates with the ExamRoom.AI web portal, sending both video feeds to the web portal during an exam.

The platform doesn’t require advance preparation. You can follow the set up instructions on the day of the examination which is apparently convenient. The system uses FIDO technology to authenticate users biometrically and analyze seven biometric factors. After confirming the user’s eligibility to take the test through security checks, it issues a “Proof of Solitude Token.” ExamLock technology does more than just track what you do on the camera. It prevents you from navigating away from the browser, jots down every key you press, and restricts the use of external monitors by blocking the HDMI and VGA ports. It also inspects temporary files to catch any background applications. This strategy builds a big wall around your exam but it is high on resources.

The “supervision of remote tests” also has a feature of room scanning, where you will have to physically show your testing surrounding to ensure that no unauthorized material is within access. You cannot connect external devices during the exam owing to Hardware blocking. For organizations deploying this academic integrity tool, the platform has certifications for the GDPR, COPPA, FERPA, ISO 27001:2022, PCI DSS, and SOC2 Type II compliance making it an enterprise grade test integrity tool.

Reality Behind User Experiences

Here’s where the picture gets murky. With 99 reviews and a 2.8-star rating, download numbers don’t tell the whole story. In reviews, reviews cite problems related to frequent functionality failure and reliability. People have complained about the room scanner feature being problematic during the verification process. Many users have complained that they have either faced poor customer service or no customer service at all. Some users labeled it as the worst website and app to ever exist.

The biometric authentication and the browser lockdown software may be technically advanced but are only useful if the app functions fully when you need it. Having the two devices running at the same time creates a doubled single point of failure. The anti-cheating software has an extensive monitoring system that is concerning and an invasion of privacy, especially since tests last for hours.

Who This Serves Regardless of the Problem

ExamRoom.AI aims at certifying bodies, colleges and universities, and enterprises that value security over user experience. The platform provides a fully integrated assessment system that includes exam creation tools, item banking, psychometrics and credentialing through CrediPort; goes well beyond simple proctoring. Certain organizations requiring strict test integrity solutions with full certifications might accept the documented user experience problems as a compromise.

But if you are a test-taker taking a required exam proctored through this system? A 2.8 Star Rating Should Make You Slow Your Expectations Way Down This technology promises full monitoring and safety. However, users feel it doesn’t live up to this.
