When it comes to securing exam integrity and ensuring a fair test-taking experience, ProctorU is here to support you. As a Chrome extension, ProctorU provides a seamless and efficient way to monitor your online exams, while maintaining your privacy and data security.
Protecting Your Privacy
We understand that privacy is a top concern for test-takers. With ProctorU, you can rest assured that your personal information is safe and will never be shared or sold to a third party. Our focus is solely on maintaining exam integrity and providing a secure testing environment.
Understanding the Chrome Extension Permissions
It's important to understand the permissions requested by the ProctorU Chrome extension. These permissions are necessary to ensure a smooth and reliable testing experience and are only active during your exam session. Let's break down what each permission means:
1. READ AND CHANGE ALL YOUR DATA ON THE WEBSITES YOU VISIT
This permission allows ProctorU to ensure you remain on permitted pages or sites during your exam. It helps to prevent any unauthorized access to external resources that could compromise the integrity of your test.
2. DISPLAY NOTIFICATIONS
The display notification permission enables proctors to send important notifications directly to you during your exam. This ensures effective communication between you and the proctor, enhancing your testing experience.
3. COMMUNICATE WITH COOPERATING WEBSITES
During your exam, ProctorU may need to communicate with your test delivery provider or learning management system to ensure all necessary conditions are set for an optimal testing experience. This permission enables seamless integration with these platforms.
4. READ AND MODIFY DATA YOU COPY AND PASTE
To maintain exam integrity, ProctorU restricts the use of copy and paste during your test. This permission ensures that your responses are genuine and that the integrity of the exam is preserved.
5. DETECT YOUR PHYSICAL LOCATION
Knowing your physical location during the exam helps ProctorU provide better technical support and assistance. If any technical issues arise, we can address them promptly and ensure a smooth testing experience.
6. CAPTURE THE CONTENT OF YOUR SCREEN
ProctorU needs to capture the content of your screen during the exam to provide our online monitoring and exam integrity service. This allows us to ensure that the test is conducted fairly and to detect any unusual activities.
Your Test-Taking Experience Matters
Your test-taking experience is important to us. While we understand that some users may have concerns about privacy and data security, we assure you that ProctorU is committed to maintaining the highest level of privacy standards.

22 Reviews For This Extension
It's basically just spyware with zero regulation of who looks through your computer while you are taking an exam (or potentially after, who knows). Note that when you install this extension Chrome specifically tells you that ProctorU is able to browse all your files, change privacy settings on your computer, and store your information.
Terrible.
Would give less than 1 star if I could. I re-downloaded this extension just to give a bad review, that's how frustrating it was. God help you if you have to use this for a test.
pretty sure this is a scam company run by an indian scam center. it is designed to crash your test. when you ask for help, they want you to live chat with people like "Sadeep" who ask you to install a 3rd party program that allows them to have remote access and take control of your screen(access to your whole computer). I asked if they could just walk me through it instead, and in broken english they just kept telling me "tech would able fix it". LSAT is BONKERS for using such a service.
I have been trying for over a month I cannot take my test this system isn't working
Absolutely terrible system. Like another user said, does not work as it should and took me over an hour to navigate.
Taking my LSAT Argumentative Essay today, let me know why it's taking me over an hour to set ProctorU up and it still isn't working. This better not happen on test day!
Genuinely so confusing. was trying to ask a simple question for two hours and never got a straight answer.
It's absolutely horrible, it never works right, messes up my tests, and I can never start on time because something is always wrong!!!
TRASH!!!!!
We have wasted so much time trying to get this to work. I agree with everyone else, this is terrible!!! Also, it says it can read and change all your data on all websites, read and modify data you copy and paste, identify and eject storage devices.... It's awful. I hope we can delete this extension when we are done with the course.
Terrible, takes a million years to figure out how to get it to work, still confused!
I don't remember downloading this how tf did it end up on my computer?
Sorta creepy that it needs so many permissions for my computer, probably some sort of spyware. Please remove any unnecessary permissions, such as the ability to "eject" my storage stuff.
Had to use Guardian Browser for exam instead of using this extension with Chrome.
App sucks, takes 3+ hours to do anything.
ProctorU has never ceased to amaze me with how haphazardly it operates. It has never once been a smooth process where my computer does not end up having some sort of issue afterwards and it is ridiculous Universities use this garbage program.
I have never once in 3.5 years of college had this work properly the first time
Never works - spend at least 30 minutes before each exam trying to trouble shoot it Then they say they have a workaround method which also doesn't work Tech Support chat doesn't have the auto-prompts that lead you to the answer you need If you type your actual problem it says it can't recognize the question Absolute garbage
Never works bruh
Does this thing ever even work properly?!
Literal spyware, how tf is this even legal for univeristies to force you to install this onto your personal computer ?
