01

Reduce opportunity through exam design

Use balanced question pools, alternate ordering and time appropriate to the task. Ask questions that require application and reasoning rather than answers that can be copied quickly from a reference.

02

Control access and sessions

Assign only eligible candidates, use clear registration or invitation rules and prevent conflicting active sessions. Record relevant access and recovery actions in an audit trail.

03

Apply browser and monitoring safeguards

Depending on the exam, restrict copy and paste, watch tab switches and collect configured camera or screen evidence. Be clear that browser controls cannot prevent every action on another device.

04

Review signals consistently

Publish the policy before the exam and train reviewers to consider event timing, frequency and supporting evidence. A single alert should not become automatic proof of misconduct.

05

Avoid controls that create more risk than value

More intrusive controls do not automatically produce a fairer exam. Consider accessibility, bandwidth, device compatibility and privacy before enabling each safeguard. Use the least intrusive combination that addresses the real risk and document why it was chosen.

06

Create a review and appeal process

Define who reviews alerts, what evidence is relevant and when a second reviewer is required. Preserve the original timeline and record the reason for each decision. Candidates should be able to explain technical interruptions or challenge conclusions made from incomplete context.
