Demo exam
Our exam platform needs modern technologies in order to work. While most newer browsers and devices have these technologies enabled, older browsers and devices will not be able to load our exam.
To check if our exam platform works on your system, take this demo exam: https://www.autoproctor.co/tests/start-test/GFICZZZA
If this exam loads successfully, then your Technical Round and Subjective Round will also load successfully. If this demo exam loads and the Technical Round and Subjective Round doesn’t load, sign out of all your Google Accounts and try again.
Google Accounts
Many of you may have multiple Google Accounts on your device. Before you take a test on AutoProctor, log out of all accounts by clicking here. Then, log in with the correct Google Account. Do not use Incognito or Private mode.
Here are a few guidelines on what kind of browser/device to use for a Proctored test:
- On Windows, Macbook and other devices: Use Google Chrome Browser (at least version** 83**, or higher)
- Updated Browser: If your device has a lower version of the browser, update the browser to the latest version. If you cannot update it to the versions mentioned above, you will have to upgrade your Operating System. If that also doesn’t work, you will have to try a different device.
- Good hardware specifications: While we cannot specify all the hardware requirements, it helps to have a device that isn’t more than 3 years old. AutoProctor is constantly monitoring your camera and audio feeds, and is running Artificial Intelligence algorithms on them. That requires a lot of processing power. It is important that your device can handle it.
- Change device: Unfortunately, if AutoProctor isn’t working on a given device, there is nothing we can do from our end. You will have to change your device.
Instructions
Hardware & internet requirements
- Ensure you have a webcam connected to your system or an in-built webcam on your laptop.
- Have a smooth and uninterrupted internet connection throughout the test.
Browser and OS requirements
The table below lists the supported operating systems and browsers with their minimum required versions for starting the test. If a browser and OS combination isn’t listed (e.g., Brave browser on Windows), it means the test cannot be taken on that setup.
Do’s & don’ts
- Log in using the email ID you registered with. Using a different email will block exam access. If you have login issues, email us at contact@techwave-solutions.net.
- Complete the test in one session. No breaks are allowed.
- This is a timed test; keep track of the time for each question while answering.
- Only one question will be visible at a time. You cannot skip a question and return to it later. Once skipped, you cannot revisit that question.
- Answer all questions and finish all modules. There is no negative marking.
- Disable all pop-ups and notifications before starting the test.
- Keep your face fully visible on the webcam at all times. Avoid wearing hats, sunglasses, or anything that covers your face, and don’t use headphones or earphones.
- Stay alone during the entire test. No one should be in the room with you.
- Sit in a well-lit, quiet room. Dim lighting or background noise will count as a violation.
- Do not use a calculator or any other electronic device during the test. You can use a pen and paper for rough work, but ensure it remains visible within the webcam frame.

Mic, camera, and screen monitoring
Your microphone, camera, and screen activity are recorded and monitored throughout the exam. This is to ensure a fair and secure environment for everyone.
Trust score
We generate a trust score based on how well you follow the guidelines. If your trust score is low, your results won’t be evaluated.
External resources
- You are not allowed to use the internet, other devices, or AI tools during the exam. We use advanced detection tools, and any violation will be considered unethical, leading to the disqualification of your answers.

- Keep track of time during the exam. We recommend dividing your time wisely for each question. Once the time expires, your answers will be submitted automatically, so ensure you complete them before the deadline.
Professional conduct
Be respectful and professional throughout the exam. Any disruptive behavior or communication with others during the exam will lead to immediate disqualification.
One attempt policy
As per our guidelines, each candidate is permitted only one attempt in the examination using their registered email ID. Multiple attempts will result in disqualification.
