Paperless electronic testing is exponentially cheaper than traditional paper and pencil testing. But, along with the benefits also comes the challenge of maintaining security and test integrity.
Are you concerned about test takers leaving the testing window and going elsewhere on the web, socializing with others on social networks, copying your test items into an open document, or otherwise trying to cheat? With our proprietary secure browser, VanGuard™, we provide clients with a cost-effective way to retain complete control over the desktop environment and minimize test takers' ability to cheat by "freezing" test takers into one and only one place - the test.
