  • Publication number: 20200111188
    Abstract: Digitally enabled solutions are provided using a centralized test management center. The digitally enabled solutions may be applied to computerized and paper-based tests. During actual testing events, real-time data is obtained and processed to the centralized test management center. When administering examinations, this aids proctors by: automating administration workflow; reducing/eliminating variations in the proctoring process across various locations; detecting problematic events while proctoring the exams in real-time; and identifying irregularities that may adversely impact the validity and integrity of the testing scores.
