Set up ID card verification, impersonation detection, 360-degree proctoring, session recording, and candidate recording for advanced anti-cheating protection.
Enhanced Proctoring adds advanced identity verification and monitoring features beyond standard proctoring. These features help prevent impersonation, detect AI tools, and create a comprehensive record of each test attempt, including full candidate video.
Most enhanced proctoring features cost 4 additional credits per attempt. Candidate recording costs 15 additional credits per attempt. If you turn on multiple enhanced features, the credit cost is cumulative.
ID card verification confirms the candidate’s identity by matching their uploaded ID against their test photo and entered name.
1
Turn on ID card verification
Turn on ID card verification under Enhanced proctoring in the Proctoring section of your test’s Settings.
2
Candidate uploads their ID
When starting the test, the candidate is prompted to upload a photo of their ID card. Accepted documents include candidate ID cards, passports, driver’s licenses, and government-issued IDs.
3
AutoProctor verifies identity
The system compares the photo and name on the ID card against the photo taken before the test starts and the name the candidate entered on the platform.
ID verification screen before test start
Photo before test start must be on under What gets tracked for ID card verification to work effectively.
Impersonation detection monitors whether someone other than the original candidate attempts or continues the test. AutoProctor compares periodic photos taken during the test against the initial photo to detect face changes.
The Auxiliary device feature enables 360-degree proctoring by pairing the candidate’s phone with their laptop. This provides a secondary camera angle that captures the candidate’s physical environment.

Turn on Auxiliary device under Enhanced proctoring in the Proctoring section.
2
Candidate pairs their phone
When the test starts, the candidate scans a QR code on their laptop screen using their phone camera. This pairs the two devices.

3
Phone provides secondary monitoring
The phone camera captures the candidate’s desk, surroundings, and screen from a different angle. This also helps detect AI tools that display answers as overlays on the screen.
After the test, the candidate’s report has an Auxiliary device tab with the captures from the phone.
Session recording captures a complete record of the candidate’s screen activity throughout the test, including mouse clicks and keyboard input. This creates a reviewable timeline of the entire test attempt, which you play back in the Session recording tab of the candidate’s report.
Session recording is available on Socratease quizzes only. On other tests, its switch is disabled and reads Can be enabled only on Socratease quizzes.
Candidate recording continuously records the candidate’s camera feed throughout the entire test. This lets the examiner watch the candidate’s behavior during the test, providing the most complete evidence of test integrity. You watch it in the Candidate recording tab of the candidate’s report.
Candidate recording costs 15 additional credits per attempt and is not included in the enhanced proctoring bundle discount.
These credits are added to the 1 base credit of every proctored attempt.
