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.
Not a bad experience, the verifications was a little extreme but I understand why
I was so excited to test today. I had technical problems. Sad i was so ready. Now i have to reschedule for another day. SMH Done
The proctor was very professional. I prefer taking exams live, it is troublesome to rearrange ones' space for the exam, but nonetheless rearrangement is better than a 2.5 hour drive each way. I wish there were more available testing sites for rural folks.
i love the way that i could test at home if i have to test again i would
Everything went smoothly. The security verifications were more extreme than I had seen, but it all made sense. I was pleased with the proctor's responsiveness. I was a little disturbed that I was given a warning for looking away from the screen as I was jotting something down on the allowed piece of paper.
I felt so violated of my privacy. My phone's alarm went off . I asked the proctor if i could turn it off because it was hindering my focus. No response. So, imagine your phone alarm going off the ENTIRE test. The most heartless, cold platform ever.
I get that they are trying to prevent cheating and make things fair/secure, but they are unreasonable with the degree to which they refuse to answer questions about how to navigate their confusing platform. They will ask you to confirm that you have completed all sections of your exam, but it's unclear if leaving the exam will erase your progress, leaving you basically no time to complete it again if that is the case. They cannot give me confirmation on how to use their platform in return. If I can't ask questions, don't make it confusing, then make it my responsibility to figure it out. Thanks a lot...
i have taken many online tests and tbh this is the worst ever. the worst possible test taking platform
.It was the worst experience ever it was my first time taking an online test I promise it probably took about 45 minutes because it kept telling me to scan the room it kept telling me move this off my desk scan the ceiling scan the floor take off my bracelet move my coffee cup like everything and it was a night test and I'm just like OK am I ever gonna get to take the test but yeah and I'm not even sure how do I get my grades after he told me to end the session I didn't see anything else but if I wanted to write a review but yeah I don't ever want to do this again
This was the worst experience! The proctor did not know what they were doing. I informed my proctor that I finished the exam. The proctor then informed me to make sure I completed all sections of the test including the survey. I stated that I did not see a survey, and they made me contact technical support. I was working with technical support for over thirty minutes for them to also not understand what was going on. By the way I guess there was no survey. I just told the technical guy that the 'problem' was fixed. This test took me an hour, but ended up being almost three because of the proctor. The most frustrating and worst test experience of my entire life. I am so mad!
