# Glossary

> The terms Proctorly uses — test, session, flag, snapshot, integrity score, verdict, and more — with consistent, plain definitions.

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.

| Term                | Definition                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Test** / **Exam** | A proctored assessment a teacher creates. The UI mostly says "test."                                                        |
| **Session**         | One student's single attempt at a test.                                                                                     |
| **Flag**            | A single detected integrity event within a session.                                                                         |
| **Snapshot**        | A webcam or screen image captured during a session.                                                                         |
| **Integrity score** | A 0–100 cleanliness score for a session; starts at 100 and loses points per flag. Higher is cleaner.                        |
| **Risk level**      | A session's overall level of concern: `High`, `Medium`, `Low`, or `None`.                                                   |
| **Verdict**         | A teacher's session-level override: **Clear** (forces the score to 100) or **Escalate** (treats every flag at full weight). |
| **Capture mode**    | Whether snapshots are stored for all flags (**Full**) or only the most important ones (**Selective**). Set by plan.         |
| **Waiting room**    | An optional hold after setup until the teacher admits the student.                                                          |
| **Pause**           | A teacher control — the student can't answer, but it's a normal break, not a penalty.                                       |
| **Lock**            | A teacher control — the student can't interact with the test until the teacher unlocks it.                                  |
| **Accommodation**   | A per-student override a teacher sets (for example, camera-exempt or adjusted sensitivity). Currently in beta.              |
