TestInvite’s Proctoring Approach: Flexible, Insightful, and Focused on Results

A smart proctoring approach that blends AI monitoring with human-reviewed post-exam analysis for fair and reliable evaluations.
May, 2025

As AI continues to reshape the landscape of online assessments, many platforms have rushed to build strict proctoring environments—mandating specific webcam positions, standardized room setups, and constant supervision to ensure that their AI proctoring tools function flawlessly. At TestInvite, we believe there’s a smarter, more adaptable way to ensure exam integrity—one that fits the realities of modern testing and prioritizes what matters most: identifying the best performers with confidence and efficiency.

The Challenge of Testing Outside Your Organization

When your test-takers are external—employees, applicants, students, or participants—you can’t assume they’ll all have the same environment, equipment, or connectivity.

  • Some may use built-in webcams, others external ones placed at different angles.
    • Video quality and internet speed can vary dramatically.
      • Background noise from family, coworkers, or surroundings is often unavoidable.

        Other platforms respond to these inconsistencies by enforcing strict rules. They may require a specific room layout, a pre-exam room scan, or even a live proctor to verify test conditions before the exam begins—all in service of getting their AI tools to function correctly. But these methods are resource-heavy, inflexible, and not scalable, especially when dealing with a wide pool of remote test-takers.

        Our Philosophy: Practical Proctoring with AI + Human Insight

        At TestInvite, we take a different approach. Rather than imposing rigid requirements, we embrace the real-world variability of external testing environments. We use AI as a proctoring assistant, not a final judge.

        Our AI is trained to flag key behaviors that may indicate suspicious activity, such as:

        • Multiple or no people visible on screen,
          • Obstructed or unclear faces
            • Test-takers looking away from the screen at large angles

              These automated flags give you actionable insights—but they don’t make the final call. That’s where our unique post-proctoring system comes in.

              The Power of Post-Proctoring: Smart Review, Focused Effort

              Most of our customers use TestInvite to identify top performers—whether for hiring, training, certification, or promotion. That’s why we focus on efficiency and reliability in evaluating test integrity.

              With our post-proctoring tool, you can:

              • Watch multiple test-takers’ full exam recordings in a single screen after the test is complete.
                • Speed up playback for faster review.
                  • Focus only on high scorers, such as finalists, interviewees, or potential hires.

                    Investigate AI-reported incidents and determine whether they warrant concern.

                    This model lets you scale proctoring review intelligently: instead of live-monitoring everyone, you can efficiently audit those who matter most, with both AI signals and human judgment in play.

                    Why Our Approach Works

                    Compared to strict pre-test setups and live monitoring used by other platforms, TestInvite offers:

                    • Greater scalability, especially with large or global applicant pools.
                      • More flexibility, without requiring test-takers to meet rigid technical or environmental standards.
                        • Focused review, saving your team time by concentrating only on top performers.
                          • Better alignment with real-world use cases, where tests are often run remotely across different geographies and devices.

                            In summary, TestInvite combines the strengths of AI automation with the critical oversight of human review—without burdening your test-takers or your team with unnecessary complexity. For organizations that care most about identifying and verifying the best candidates, our flexible and intelligent proctoring model is not just an alternative—it’s the advantage.
