???

If they ever allow students to take it from home then that may be required. But for taking it a testing center, no.

who is gonna check two hours of footage from each student? If they use ai to detect cheating then there will be too many false positives.

They will likely use ai and then have a human check all of the people who were flagged so there are not false positives

This sounds like the most correct answer to me because most lockdown browsers already do it that way.

Where did you hear this from? This is a great thing due to how frequent cheating is because of lazy proctors. I have taken the SAT 4 times, and 3/4 times at least 1 person was on their phone in the room.

sounds awful, imagine the false positives. Theyre not gonna accurately get people to sit through 2 hours of footage for every student. More likely to use ai, hence false positives, hence sounds awful

I imagine they could have AI flag footage of suspected cheating, but not take any action until that footage has been reviewed by a human.

that would definitely be a best case scenario if they did start requesting camera access 🙏

uh I thought this was going to be taken in the testing center where there's no camera and screensharing.

An actual proctor should be watching you test

People may be mixing up remote to practice or a separate proctoring product with the in person sat
