We know all cheating techniques and how to spot them.
We have superhero vision during the check-in process, and we have update information about new cheating devices available on the market. So please don't try to be innovative on your exam day. |
We require a formal check-in process that emphasizes to candidates that all personal items, cell phones and other electronic devices need to be kept outside of the exam room.
During the check-in process we also use metal-wand detector, for yours and ours safety. Pens, pencils and scratch papers are strictly provided by M7 Test Center. |
WHY IS m7 Test center so strict about water?Some testing sites allow candidates to bring bottled water into the exam room. M7 Test Center do not allow its candidates to have any food or drink in the exam room, and we have been asked "why".
The answer is simple, we don't like and allow: CHEATING, NOISE and HARMING on computer or paper exam. Try Googling "aquafina label cheat" or "coca-cola label cheat" , which you can also see as demonstration on YouTube. We don't want candidates complaints about NOISE made by cans, bottles or other food packing. Every drop of water or food crumbs can damage the computer or your paper exam will look like you're having lunch with him. |
if james bond took an exam...This smiley- face button looks innocent enough. In fact, most proctors would led candidates wear it into the exam room. It is generally not considered to be a prohibited item.
SURPRISE! This button is actually sold at The Home Security Store as a "Button Spy Camera DVR".
Second Surprise! This simple button would be even harder to spot for others, but not for M7 Proctors. We have a close connection with James Bond, so we already know that "this button" it's actually a mini lens for use in a button camera.

BRAINDUMPS ARE SERIOUS PROBLEMSSome types of cheating are easy to catch and easy to prove. Brain Dumps are neither.
A Brain Dump is the unauthorized transfer of exam content to potential candidates of that exam. the stolen content is usually made available online, however, it can be distributed in several different ways. Electronic devices like Cellphones, tablets, iPods, MP3 players, GoogleGlass, headphones, cameras, optical readers are strictly prohibited in exam room because they can be used for capture and upload exam content. Consider that it only takes a few seconds for a candidate to pull a phone out of a shirt sleeve, take a picture of the computer screen and post it online. Brain Dump website will pay you for this service. |
if only they put such time and effort into studying.....
|
We take a good look at candidate's nail polish. It may only be a matter of time before other test sites proctors start using magnifying glasses at check-in.
|
While monitoring the test room, we take special care for "injured candidates", and look for candidates who fidget with their bandages. |
|
|
Some test sponsors allow candidates to bring their own calculators, and also we too, but only if candidates respect the calculator policy about calculators options (no scientific calculators). When those candidates check-in, the Telegraph suggests to us the next-
"to turn the calculators over and hold them under a strong light" just to be sure candidates have not written notes on the back in pencil. |
don't spend your money on such piece of crap

And finally, from the Student Money Saver, we have the "book on a ring". Out of curiosity, we at M7 type "tiny book on a ring jewelry" in Google images, and found tiny books on key rings, earrings, necklaces.
Given how easily these books are to keep hidden, candidates may not even bother with jewelry and could easily hide them in pockets, sleeves or pant cuffs. At M7 Test Center, we are focusing our efforts in increasing test site security and protecting exam content. So, don't be surprised when we require to check your pants cuffs, shirt sleeves and ask you to turn your pockets inside out. |
