Top 7 Advantages of the ProctorU + MyLab Integration


It’s seamless for you and your students.

In the flip of a switch, you can use remote proctoring for any exam or quiz directly in MyLab, offering flexible yet secure options to uphold exam integrity. And your test-takers never have to leave the MyLab platform.

Humans review every session.

This integration not only saves you time in reviewing sessions but also provides peace of mind that a professional proctor has reviewed each exam for you.

Exam security and academic integrity is upheld.

Industry research* shows that fewer cheating incidents occur when exams are proctored, and even fewer occur when a professional proctor reviews each session.

*Multiple studies have found this to be true, including this 2020 study published in the Journal of the National College Testing Association.

Your security settings are customizable.

You can configure exam security to the level that fits your needs.

Incident reports save you valuable time.

Within 24 hours of the exam window, you will receive a queue of sessions where professional proctors have detected a potential breach of integrity. Then you can review each session from the point where suspicious activity was found rather than the entire exam, allowing you to make a judgment call more quickly.

End-to-end recordings of every session are available immediately.

If you would like to watch each session from start to finish, you absolutely can.

Students have free access to a team of support staff 24/7.

If any issues occur before or during an exam, your test-takers can get assistance from a live person.

  • Fill out the form.
  • Sign a limited agreement.
  • Implementation team will establish an account, generate a MyLab secret and key, and schedule a kick-off call. 

  • The Record+ product that is integrated with MyLab does not manage allowable resources.
  • Online text books and calculators can be used based on the security settings that are established when the exam is created.

  • It is impossible for our advanced technology to differentiate between different types of allowable resources and therefore works best for examinations in which no physical resources are allowed. 

ProctorU uses our proprietary platform to screen videos in real-time for events that are outside of normal test-taker behavior and flags those instances for a ProctorU proctor to review.


The kinds of suspicious activity that we document & report:

  • Recorded image of a test-taker does not match the photo on the test taker’s identification

  • Test-takers looking away from exam content repeatedly (looking at other items that may be present on the desktop or elsewhere around the room)

  • Test-takers leaving the exam area
