Yes, cheating on ProctorU is possible — but only with the right techniques.
Hello everyone, welcome to ExamPie. In today’s video, we’ll explore the best way to cheat on ProctorU. Many individuals are curious whether it’s truly possible to bypass ProctorU, or how someone can cheat on it without getting caught.
While there are many strategies to cheat on online proctored exams, several old techniques have become outdated. As technology evolves, so does proctoring software — constantly upgrading to prevent dishonest practices. But in this digital era, even powerful tools like ProctorU can be bypassed using advanced technical methods.
Today, we’re going to show you actual proof where a technical expert successfully bypasses ProctorU’s surveillance.
What is ProctorU and How Does it Work?
Before diving into cheating tips and tricks, it’s essential to understand what ProctorU is and how it operates.
ProctorU is an online monitoring tool used by many universities and testing platforms to maintain the integrity of remote exams. It connects test takers with live human proctors who oversee the test session through webcam, microphone, screen sharing, and real-time monitoring.
ProctorU allows the proctor to:
- Watch your screen
- See you via webcam
- Hear your environment
- Monitor browser activity
- Flag suspicious behavior
After the test, a report is generated and reviewed by instructors for any red flags.
But if ProctorU offers such intense surveillance, how can you cheat on ProctorU? Can ProctorU detect cheating in every case?
Let’s find out.
Method 1: The Technical Expert Method
The most effective and safest way to cheat ProctorU is through what we call the Technical Expert Method.
In this method, a tech expert sets up custom software on the student’s computer. This tool allows the expert to remotely access the machine, monitor the exam process, and even take the exam on the student’s behalf — all while remaining invisible to ProctorU’s detection systems.
So, is cheating with this method safe?
Yes — this software bypasses ProctorU’s detection protocols, doesn’t show up in task managers, and doesn’t trigger any security alerts. Since the expert handles the full setup, from software installation to actual exam-taking, the student doesn’t need to do anything technical themselves.
This method is widely considered the most secure and undetectable.
Here’s the Proof:
This is what happens when someone launches a ProctorU session:
- First, the ProctorU platform initiates a setup session where the proctor instructs the student to share their screen and webcam.
- Next, a room scan is performed and the student is asked to display their ID.
- The proctor closes any unauthorized apps or browser tabs before unlocking the exam with the instructor’s password.
But throughout this entire process, the technical expert remains silently connected in the background — ready to take control once the test begins. This invisible hand guides the student through the entire exam without triggering any alerts.
Again, this method is paid and technical, but extremely discreet and reliable.
Method 2: Conventional Cheating Techniques
Apart from the technical approach, there are older, riskier methods that some still attempt. These include:
• Using a Virtual Machine (VM)
Test takers sometimes use virtual machines to cheat ProctorU. In this setup, the exam is launched inside a virtualized environment, while the host computer remains accessible to search for answers.
This method requires considerable setup time and advanced configuration. It’s effective but risky and complex.
• Using Phones or Hidden Devices
Another exploited loophole involves placing a second device, like a phone or small laptop, behind your monitor or somewhere within your keyboard’s reach but out of camera view.
Students may glance at answers or communicate via chat apps. However, excessive eye movement or suspicious behavior is usually flagged by the proctor and might lead to investigation.
• Tiny Notes
Some students use small handwritten notes placed just out of sight but readable from their seating position. Again, if eye movement seems unnatural, it may be flagged by the live proctor.
Final Verdict: What’s the Best Way?
Of all the approaches, the Technical Expert Method remains the most secure and reliable. The expert handles everything — from installation to actual test-taking — and ensures there’s no trace left behind.
While older methods may still work in some cases, they carry much higher risk and often depend on the proctor’s attentiveness.
