Kryterion's certified online proctors (KCOPS) monitor testing sessions in real time. They are focused solely on the task of detecting unusual behavior, unlike many in-person proctors who often are distracted or have other activities they are engaged in while proctoring.

The proctors go through an extensive certification and training process and they take action based on your business rules. Stop the test? Warn the test taker? Take no action other than flagging the activity and inform you? You create the business rules and our system will respond accordingly in real-time. Our split screen capability allows for a variety of on computer test aids (e.g., calculators, pdfs, spreadsheets, etc.) to further prevent unauthorized usage of physical devices (e.g., programmable calculators). The proctors communicate with test takers through drop down menu options and there is no direct communication between the test taker and the proctor, to ensure the security of the testing process and eliminate the possibility of collusion. Additionally, technical support representatives are available to work with students on the phone in the event of a video, audio transmission or other support issue.
