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.
I got kicked out 15 times. Eventually I made it work, but a very long and unnecessary almost 4 hour long process.
I was kicked out of my exam 12 different times and had to go through revarifying each time but each proctor was fine with different levels of things around my environment
I was happy to do the test from my home. Although I finished the exam but the exam asks if you are finished!! Why are you asking it should say, thank you, "you finished your exam".
i was kicked out twice, they kept the time but hopefully my test results are still valid
i was kicked out twice
ZERO STARS This doesn't even deserve any stars. I spend more time getting blocked out of the test and had to go in like 8 times. So, when taking a test I think it is not an effective way to take a test. For the amount of money I paid to take this test it was a horrible experience and I'm pretty sure I have to retake it.
Would give it zero stars if I could. Got kicked out of the test 5 times. I had to go back and show my room and desk every time. The clock still kept rolling.
i actually was kicked out literally 5 times, then i had to get a new proctor each time, there was only one proctor who asked a thousand questions on why they could not see my face, the lighting, this was an exhausting day, what should have taken 3 hours took 5 1/2 hours to finish, whatever system they have isn't working for them
was constantly asked to put face in camera even though I barely moved and was never out of frame. spent too much chatting about that & "readjusting" my camera which made me lose focus. had to go back over questions too many times due to that
HORRIBLE. spent more time trying to show them around my room and "losing connection" that I everything I was studying for flew out the window. WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN
