Online proctoring for entrance exams and admission tests

Proctoring designed for admissions teams

Admissions exams determine futures and deserve a testing process you can trust.  They demand stricter rules than regular quizzes, as a low-stakes course quiz help students learn. An admissions test decides who gets in.

From ISAT to college entrance tests, we help you protect test integrity without compromising applicant experience.

LMS-based entrance exams — fully supported

Many institutions already run admission tests directly inside their learning platforms, and OctoProctor integrates with them out of the box.

We support 30+ LMSs, including:

Canvas, Moodle, Open edX, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Sakai, iSpring, and more with native integration that requires zero engineering lift from your team.

What this brings to your admissions process:

With OctoProctor’s proctoring software for learning platforms, you can launch admission exams inside the LMS you already use, seamlessly syncing with candidate lists and reports.

OctoProctor fits directly into your tech stack, so you can keep using your LMS to deliver secure, high-stakes admission exams at scale.

No LMS? No problem

Not all institutions use an LMS for admissions, and that’s perfectly valid.

You may rely on:

  • A dedicated admission testing portal
  • A lightweight browser-based assessment tool
  • A custom-built exam platform tied to your CRM or any other applicant tracking system

OctoProctor fully supports these setups. With flexible SDK and API options, we embed our proctoring experience into any system — without requiring a full LMS behind it.
