Short answer: It is easy to make mistakes during online tests; it is not easy to stay invisible if the exam uses logs, proctoring, or unusual-answer review.
| Risk | What gets caught | How to reduce stress |
|---|---|---|
| Canvas quiz logs | Tab switches, focus loss, answer timing | Understand the log before the exam with our Professor View Simulator. |
| Proctoring tools | Screen, webcam, microphone, lockdown controls | Check whether Respondus, Honorlock, or Proctorio is enabled. |
| Answer review | Sudden score jumps, copied text, matching wrong answers | Study enough that your performance pattern makes sense. |
