How to Take an Obsyra-Proctored Exam (For Test-Takers)

【About this exam】

This exam may have proctoring (Obsyra) enabled to keep it fair. Here's how to prepare and what the permission prompts on the start screen mean.

【Before you start】

· Device: If possible, use an up-to-date desktop browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.). On smartphones, some features (such as locking full-screen) may not work.

· Connection: Use a stable internet connection. If it drops, it may be recorded as leaving the page, or answering may pause.

· Environment: Choose a quiet place and prepare so you don't need to step away partway through.

【What may appear on the start screen】

Depending on the settings, you may see the following. If shown, follow the guidance and grant the prompt.

· Full-screen exam: If lockdown is set, you'll be asked to take the exam in full-screen. Leaving full-screen shows a red warning and blocks answering until you return. Copy, paste, and right-click may be unavailable.

· Webcam permission: If a camera is required, you must allow camera use; otherwise you cannot start. During the exam, face snapshots are captured and stored at intervals, and recruiters may review them to check for cheating. Stored images are deleted after a set period (shown on the start screen).

【During the exam】

· Don't switch to other tabs or apps: Switching is recorded, and depending on settings a warning may appear.

· Don't stop the camera (when required): If it's cut off, answering pauses. Use "Restart camera" to resume.

· Don't leave full-screen (during lockdown): If you do, you can't answer. Return to full-screen to continue.

【If you run into trouble】

If something goes wrong during the exam, don't panic — first try the on-screen buttons ("Restart camera", "Return to full-screen", etc.). If that doesn't help, see "Troubleshooting an Obsyra-proctored exam" (#OBS-007). Proctoring is not there to suspect you; it keeps the exam fair. If you follow the guidance, you'll be fine.
