A quick reference for the words used throughout these docs and in the product. The product mostly says “test” rather than “exam” — these docs follow that.
TermDefinition
Test / ExamA proctored assessment a teacher creates. The UI mostly says “test.”
SessionOne student’s single attempt at a test.
FlagA single detected integrity event within a session.
SnapshotA webcam or screen image captured during a session.
Integrity scoreA 0–100 cleanliness score for a session; starts at 100 and loses points per flag. Higher is cleaner.
Risk levelA session’s overall level of concern: High, Medium, Low, or None.
VerdictA teacher’s session-level override: Clear (forces the score to 100) or Escalate (treats every flag at full weight).
Capture modeWhether snapshots are stored for all flags (Full) or only the most important ones (Selective). Set by plan.
Waiting roomAn optional hold after setup until the teacher admits the student.
PauseA teacher control — the student can’t answer, but it’s a normal break, not a penalty.
LockA teacher control — the student can’t interact with the test until the teacher unlocks it.
AccommodationA per-student override a teacher sets (for example, camera-exempt or adjusted sensitivity). Currently in beta.
