PROCTORING SETTINGS

You can enable one or all of the following proctoring settings to ensure that
your test is plagiarism-free.


SMART BROWSER 

You can enable Smart Browser to enforce stricter proctoring settings in your
assessments. Smart Browser provides you with various features that will help you
to enable stricter proctoring settings in your assessments. When you select the
Smart Browser setting, some of the settings are selected by default along with
the addition of new ones. To learn more about Smart Browser, read this article. 


RANDOM QUESTIONS SHUFFLING

You can enable random questions shuffling in the proctroing settings. This will
change the order of the questions for each candidate when they start the
assessment. This will make it difficult for candidates to use any unfair
practices in the assessment. 


DISABLE THE COPY AND PASTE FEATURE IN THE CODE EDITOR

When this setting is enabled, a candidate cannot copy the code (for example,
from the Web or a local computer) and paste it into the code editor.

We recommend that you enable this setting if your test contains a question that
requires the candidate to write code.

Important: By default, the candidates are not allowed to copy the problem
statements in the test interface.


TAKE CANDIDATE SNAPSHOTS DURING THE TEST

When this option is enabled, candidates must give permission to enable the
webcam on their computers. If they do not, they cannot take the test.

When the test is live, we take a snapshot of the candidate at random intervals.
A thumbnail preview of the webcam will be displayed on the bottom right of the
screen, which indicates that the candidates are being monitored during the test.

WHEN SHOULD THIS OPTION BE ENABLED?

Enable this option for candidates who are taking the test remotely. Ensure that
you inform them in advance that they need a webcam to be able to take the test.

Do not enable this option in the following scenarios:

 * If you know that the candidate does not have/have access to a webcam.
 * For universities where the tests are taken in the Computer labs because most
   computers in the lab may not have a webcam.


ID VERIFICATION

When this option is enabled, candidates must upload a government ID (Aadhar or
PAN) along with an image captured before the assessment, which HackerEarth
verifies to ensure that the candidate taking the assessment is the same as the
one in the government ID. This makes your assessment more secure and provides
better proctoring for candidates while taking the assessments.


RESTRICT CANDIDATE TO THE FULL-SCREEN MODE DURING THE TEST

You can enable this to prevent candidates from cheating. When this is enabled,
candidates can take the test in full-screen mode only. A warning is displayed on
the screen if they exit full-screen mode during the test. 


LOG OUT ON LEAVING THE TEST ENVIRONMENT 

This setting allows you to set the number of times a candidate can move out of
the test environment. The ideal number of warnings is 5, which is set by
default. You can change this if required.

When this is enabled, the system gives the candidate a warning each time they
move out of the test environment. The following actions include but are not
limited to actions that are considered as ‘moving out of the test environment’:

 * Switching tabs
 * Switching windows
 * Opening new applications on the computer including system popups like
   anti-virus notifications, Lync notifications, Skype notifications, etc.

Important: Moving out of the test environment to close notifications is also
counted as leaving the test environment.


RESTRICT TEST ACCESS FOR CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES

IP addresses identify specific computers. Restricting IP addresses and subnets
allows you to contain the test-taking to a single location. When these
restrictions are enabled for a test and a candidate tries to log in from an IP
that is outside the restricted range, a warning is displayed.  

Universities use this to ensure that the test is taken only from their computer
labs. You can also enable this when you invite candidates to take the test from
your office premises.

Important: Do not enable this for remote tests.
