How to Create Test Proctored by Proctorio

This article explains creating a test proctored with Proctorio, an automated proctoring tool integrated with YouTestMe GetCertified.  This integration ensures the total learning integrity of every assessment using state-of-the-art technology. It eliminates human error, bias, and much of the expense associated with remote proctoring and identity verification. The system automatically monitors the test attempt using behavioral trackers and records the entire process, marking the moments of suspicious behaviors. Once the exam is finished, the system stores the exam footage for subsequent human review and validation.
