Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to methods and systems for administering an online examination to a user. A pre-examination scan is performed based on first image data of an environment of the user that is received from a camera. Responsive to an indication from the pre-examination scan that the environment is appropriate for test taking, the online examination is initiated. The online examination is initiated by generating a user interface for display on an examination screen. Based on second image data of the user while using the user interface, one or more poses of the user may be estimated. It may be determined that the user pose is indicative of improper examination behavior based on the one or more poses of the user that are estimated. A warning can be generated and/or the online examination can be terminated based on an indication of improper examination behavior.
