“Easy to Use but Too Strict on Movement”
3 August 2026
Overall, Proctorly worked well for exam delivery and was reliable in terms of functionality. The platform was stable, and I didn’t experience technical glitches. However, the strictness of the monitoring system made the experience less comfortable. While I understand the need for exam integrity, the system could benefit from more flexibility to account for natural human movement. With some adjustments to reduce false flags, Proctorly could be an excellent tool for students and institutions alike.

Pros: liked that Proctorly was straightforward and easy to navigate. As a student, logging in and setting up for my exam was smooth, and the interface felt intuitive. The system gave me confidence that my exam was secure and properly monitored without being overly complicated.
Cons: The biggest downside was how sensitive the flagging system was. During a two-hour exam, it’s unrealistic to expect someone to sit completely still. Simple movements like adjusting posture or looking briefly away were flagged, which felt excessive and distracting. This created unnecessary stress during an already high-pressure situation.
