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.
This felt like more of a violation than giving individuals space to take an exam in an area of comfortability. I will NEVER be taking an exam remotely again. By the time you start the exam this process makes you more frustrated than anything.
The process went well, but environments differ at times you cant avoid noise filtering through must especially with wooden houses. Also the test did not contain up to 50% course material provide at a cost to the candidate, sadly.
I felt violated --- a little much for me - I will not be doing this remotely ever again
I would never do a remote testing for this...... you can't read out loud you cant even move your lips. You cant look anywhere else other than the screen. I got warned because I looked up bc I was thinking hard about the question. The proctor allowed me to have 2 blank paper. In the middle of it the proctor told me to rip it up in small pieces.....The proctor will flag you for any and everything. It got so bad for me I couldn't focus because I feel like the proctor is breathing down my neck over everything. I rather take this test in a location.
At first it was ok, but then they wanted me to prove i had nothing on my desk over and over! They wanted me to prove what computer I had with my cell phone in which I was told not to have near me!
it was good beginning was confusing but was able to connect with people right away.
it was good. the start was stressful getting the software set up... i lowkey had a crashout, but after that it was smooth
Do not do this process , it's horrible. Very unprofessional If I could leave zero stars I would !
Very thorough and patient even with the warnings
Besides my test tab closing out automatically and having to do my screening again, everything went as a proctored test should go.
