How To Cheat Any Protracted Exams

Welcome to HowToTech, I’m back coming back with another helpful article about Digiproctor and other platforms that offer protracted exams.

Today’s article is going to be about me showing you some ways you can actually cheat during an online proctored exam. If you don’t know what protracted exams are, don’t worry, I will explain them to you in just a few minutes. If you know what it is, I know it sounds crazy, but just read through this article.

but before we begin I just want to say please subscribe to my blog. And also if you like this article, leave a comment down below on ways that you actually have cheated on an online proctored exam successfully because that would be amazing. I thought it would be helpful and useful because there are people searching for this like me I was searching for this and I could barely find anything online. It’s crazy, however, so I decided to just make this all into one video.

So if you don’t know what a proctored exam is, it’s an exam where your professor actually watches you through your webcam on your laptop, and that sounds crazy. I know. So basically, he or she might use a programme, mine is using honour lock when I first heard that on the first day of class, I got a little bit nervous and I kind of died a little bit inside honestly.

So what happens is that the AI software will detect any suspicious activity. For example,

  • it will lock all your programmes so that you can not open up new tabs.
  • You cannot use your phone because this AI software can track secondary devices like smartphones via Wi-Fi, actually via IP address. So I’m going to talk more about that later.
  • It will look for facial expressions that will count as suspicious activity also,
  • Also, once you take this test, make sure that you don’t leave the room because they will count that as suspicious activity as well.
  • It will also make you verify that you are actually the one taking the test like you have to get your student ID and you have to let the camera scan it
  • You have to literally pick up your laptop and scan the whole room to make sure that there’s nobody else in there helping you another thing it will look for is in case you have something on your desk like you have to give a whole scan. You have to show what’s on your desk as well and you have to keep your phone away.

Okay, now that I got that out of the way, let me show you some ways you can actually cheat during your online examination because these tips are actually pretty dang good and they’re really nice.

The Paper Blindspot Trick

if you can get a normal piece of paper like you would print and cut that in half and just write down your notes small but not too small, large enough that you can read them and this will definitely help you with your examination.

What you want to do is place this piece of paper right above your keyboard on your laptop and on the very low part of the screen. This is a blind spot where your webcam cannot pick. I would advice you to print out a sheet and just actually cut it in half after you’ve typed in your small font.

I’m pretty sure there’s a way in Microsoft Word that you can make it really small and just make sure that the words are on like a certain bottom left corner of the paper if that makes sense. I think you agree with me that this is very helpful.

Advantage

  1. Hard for the system to detect if you are cheating because you don’t have to look away. The AI will only think you are looking at the questions.

Disadvantage

  1. Can be time-consuming to make the cheat sheet.
  2. You can not fit all the content needed in a single piece of paper.
  3. Can only be done in situations where the college has not provided a physical invigilator.

The Phone Blindspot Trick – How To cheat in Protracted Exams

The second way is using your phone and this is pretty similar to the first one, but make sure that you have your phone before you do the whole 360 Scan thing. That way your visor cannot even pick it up in the first place. So if you’ve done that properly, which want to do is just put your phone somewhere that is not super far from you, because AI software will actually look for suspicious activity in terms of where your hands actually are.

So what you want to do is try to find something that will match the colour of your phone and that of the desk that you put your phone on, for example, if your phone case is white, you can cover the table with a white cloth or sheet to camouflage it.

So then that way that they can see it when you’re when you are doing your 360 scan and this is really helpful because once it’s really close by to you and they can’t see it once you start the exam, you can just literally just grab your phone quickly and just put it on the same spot that you would put your paper for the first method and just literally read off your phone and just scroll to just lightly scroll and they will not be able to see you

Advantage

  1. You can google anything
  2. Not time-consuming to set up

Disadvantage

  1. Your phone might ring, alerting the AI
  2. The AI might sense the phone screen light through your eye’s reflection.

Shine Your Way Through The Exam

The third technique is that right before you start to test, make sure that you actually dim the lights don’t turn on don’t turn the lights off, but just in the laptop will not probably pick this up because it will always try to adjust the screen itself to make it look like real life. So like for example if it’s kind of dark, it will bump up the exposure through the webcam but your professor will not even notice. So what you want to do is do that and turn up your screen brightness to maximum and if you wear glasses like me, which I’m not wearing at the moment

if you were less like me and what you want to do is just turn up the brightness so this is a bad example because there’s so much light right now but you want to get as much glare as you can tell them that way. When you are looking at the tests it will be kind of bright if you were on your laptop it would be much bigger on your glasses and you can literally just look at your phone and the professor and the AI software cannot pick up your eyes because it is being hidden by glare. And that’s actually one of the things that the software searches for in terms of suspicious activity as well. As facial expressions. It’s not a perfect system, but our goal is to minimise now this next method is super, super useful.

I hope you guys like this article, please comment down below your success stories when it comes to cheating during an online exam. I would love to hear it and I want to incorporate it into an article. I can keep you anonymous as well if that’s what you would like.
